Capo di fret 2
[Verse]
D G A7 D
Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
D G A7 D
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
D G A7 D
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
D G A7 D
With this very unpleasing, sneezing and wheezing, the calliope crashed to the ground
D G A7 D
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for a hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands
D G A7 D
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
D G A7 D
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
D G A7 D
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band"
[Chorus]
G A D
And she was blinded by the light
G A D
Oh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
G A D Bm
Blinded by the light
A G D
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright
G Bm
[Verse]
D G D
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
D G D
He says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
D G D
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young girls dance
D G D
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance
[Chorus]
G A D
And she was blinded by the light
G A D
Oh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
G A D Bm
Blinded by the light
A G D G Bm
He got down but he never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight
[Verse]
A G D
Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
A G D
She said, "I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you'll play that song with the funky break"
A G D
And Go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
A G D
And little Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
D G D
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier
D G
Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card who said,
D
"Do what you like, but don't do it here"
D G D
Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground, asked him which was the way back home
D G D
He said, "Take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then, boys, you're on your own"
D G D
And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune
D G
Yes, and the avatar said, "Blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar
D
we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon"
D G D
And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night
D G D
Well I unsnapped his skull cap, between his ears I saw a gap and figured he'd be all right
[Chorus]
G A D
He was just blinded by the light
G A D
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
G A D Bm
Blinded by the light
A G
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
D G D G
Whoa , but mama that's where the fun is Ooh, yeah
D G
(I was blinded) Oh my my, oh my my
D G
(I was blinded) Oh my my
D G
(I was blinded) I was blinded by the light
D G
(I was blinded) I was blinded by the light
D G
(I was blinded) I was blinded by the light
D G
(I was blinded) I was blinded by the light
D G
(I was blinded) I was blinded
D G
(I was blinded)
D G
(I was blinded)
