    Verse 1
    C

    Madman drummers bummers
    F

    and Indians in the summer
    G
    C

    With a teenage diplomat

    In the dumps with the mumps
    F

    As the adolescent pumps
    G
    C

    his way into his hat

    With a boulder on my shoulder,
    F

    feelin' kinda older
    G
    C

    I tripped the merry-go-round

    With this very unpleasing
    F

    sneezing and wheezing
    G
    C

    The calliope crashed to the ground
    Verse 2
    C

    Some all-hot half-shot
    F

    was headin' for the hot spot
    C

    Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands

    And some fleshpot mascot
    F

    was tied into a lover's knot
    C

    With a whatnot in her hand

    And now young Scott with a slingshot
    F

    Finally found a tender spot
    C

    and throws his lover in the sand
    F

    And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers

    Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot,
    C

    turn up the band
    Chorus 1
    F
    G
    C

    And she was blinded by the light

    Verse 3
    C
    F

    Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone
    C

    Rolling stone preacher from the East

    He says, dethrone the dictaphone
    F

    Hit it in its funny bone,
    C

    that's where they expect it least

    And some new-mown chaperone was
    F

    standin' in the corner all alone
    C

    Watchin' the young girls dance

    And some fresh-sown moonstone
    F

    was messin' with his frozen zone
    C

    To remind him of the feeling of romance
    Chorus 2
    F
    G
    C

    Yeah, he was blinded by the light

    Bridge 1
    G

    Some silicone sister

    with her manager's mister
    F
    C

    Told me I got what it takes
    G

    She said, I'll turn you on, sonny
    F

    To something strong if you'll play that song
    C

    with the funky break
    G

    And Go-Cart Mozart

    was checkin' out the weather chart
    F
    C

    To see if it was safe to go outside
    G

    And little Early-Pearly

    came by in her curly- whirly
    F
    C

    And asked me if I needed a ride
    G
    Oh, some hazard
    Verse 4
    C

    from Harvard
    F

    was skunked on beer
    C

    Playin' backyard bombardier

    Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard
    F

    They sent some dude with a calling card
    C

    He said, do what you like, but don't do it here

    Well, I jumped up, turned around,
    F

    spit in the air

    Fell on the ground and asked him
    C

    which was the way back home

    He said, take a right at the light
    F

    Keep goin' straight until night
    C

    And then, boy, you're on your own
    Verse 5
    C

    And now in Zanzibar
    F

    A shootin' star was ridin' in a side car
    C

    Hummin' a lunar tune

    Yes, and the avatar said, blow the bar
    F

    first remove the cookie jar

    We're gonna teach those boys
    C

    to laugh too soon

    And some kidnapped handicap
    F

    was complainin'

    That he caught the clap
    C

    from some mousetrap he bought last night

    Well, I unsnapped his skull cap
    F

    and between his ears
    C

    I saw a gap and figured he'd be alright
    Chorus 3
    F
    G
    C

    He was just blinded by the light
    F
    G

    Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
    C

    another runner in the night
    F
    G
    Dm
    Am

    Blinded by the light
    G

    Mama always told me not to look
    F

    into the sights of the sun
    C
    F
    C

    Oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is
    Solo 1

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
