This is what I dug out from Nevada. The first two lines are fine...
But C#/E, C/Eb etc for the third and fourth lines?
If you try these chords, they sound pretty weird. C# with an E bass?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUGGESTION:
There are three things to try to combine. There is a drone on the 'A' note
through each chord which is important, there is a guitar climbdown and
there is a bass climbdown.
Try:
e|-----------------------| B|-8---8-7---7-6---6-5---| G|-9---9-8---8-7---7-6---| (following the bass line) D|-7---7-7---7-7---7-7---| (both drone A|-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---| on the 'A')
or add another string like this if you prefer it with a higher emphasis:
e|-9---9-8---8-7---7-5---| B|-8---8-7---7-6---6-5---| G|-9---9-8---8-7---7-6---| D|-7---7-7---7-7---7-7---| A|-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---|
If you want that as chords it could be: [ A7 Adim Dm6 A ] played up around the
7th fret.
EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
x02020 x01313 x00201 x02220
or as we said above:
EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
x07989 x07878 x07767 x07655
That fits roughly both with what the guitar is playing as
its climbdown at the same time:
e|----5------5-------5-------| B|-8----8-7----7-6-----6-5---| G|-9----9-8----8-7-----7-6---| D|---------------------------| A|---------------------------| E|---------------------------|
(that's in principle, the top A drone stretch can't easily be done on one guitar.)
and the bass climbdown on the bass A string (which is simplified but the idea is there):
A|-7-7--6-6--5-5--4-4--5-5--4-4--2-2--0-
I really think that line is almost beyond defining as chords as it works because
of the two climbdowns working together with the A.

If you try E with a C# bass it's almost right though I prefer these chorts :
you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand
Probably it was a slip up when it was typed in, cos' everything except this
line is Ok.

Verse 1
Your ever lastin' summer, you can see it fadin' fast,
So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last.
Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand;
The things you think are precious I can't understand.
Chorus
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Verse 2
You been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen;
In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean.
The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned;
The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand.
Chorus
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Verse 3
I've spent a lot of money and I spent a lot of time;
That trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind.
After all the things we've done and seen you find another man;
The things you think are useless I can't understand.
Chorus
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
