Verse 1
C C 
 
Madman drummers bummers
F F 
 
and Indians in the summer
G G 
 
C C 
 
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
F F 
 
As the adolescent pumps
G G 
 
C C 
 
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
F F 
 
feelin' kinda older
G G 
 
C C 
 
I  tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing
F F 
 
sneezing and wheezing
G G 
 
C C 
 
The calliope crashed to the ground

Verse 2
C C 
 
Some all-hot half-shot
F F 
 
was headin' for the hot spot
C C 
 
Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot
F F 
 
was tied into a lover's knot
C C 
 
With a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot
F F 
 
Finally found a tender spot
C C 
 
and throws his lover in the sand
F F 
 
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers
Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot,
C C 
 
turn up the band

Chorus 1
F F 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
And she was blinded by the light
F F 
 
G G 
 
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
C C 
 
another runner in the night
F F 
 
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Am Am 
 
Blinded by the light
G G 
 
She got down but she never got tight
F F 
 
C C 
 
But she'll make it alright
F F 
 
Am Am 
 

Verse 3
C C 
 
F F 
 
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone
C C 
 
Rolling stone preacher from the East
He says, dethrone the dictaphone
F F 
 
Hit it in its funny bone,
C C 
 
that's where they expect it least
And some new-mown chaperone was
F F 
 
standin' in the corner all alone
C C 
 
Watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone
F F 
 
was messin' with his frozen zone
C C 
 
To remind him of the feeling of romance

Chorus 2
F F 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
F F 
 
G G 
 
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
C C 
 
another runner in the night
F F 
 
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Am Am 
 
Blinded by the light
G G 
 
He got down but she never got tight
F F 
 
C C 
 
But he's gonna make it tonight
F F 
 
Am Am 
 

Bridge 1
G G 
 
Some silicone sister
with her manager's mister
F F 
 
C C 
 
Told me I got what it takes
G G 
 
She said, I'll turn you on, sonny
F F 
 
To something strong if you'll play that song
C C 
 
with the funky break
G G 
 
And Go-Cart Mozart
was checkin' out the weather chart
F F 
 
C C 
 
To see if it was safe to go outside
G G 
 
And little Early-Pearly
came by in her curly- whirly
F F 
 
C C 
 
And asked me if I needed a ride
G G 
 
Oh, some hazard

Verse 4
C C 
 
from Harvard
F F 
 
was skunked on beer
C C 
 
Playin' backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard
F F 
 
They sent some dude with a calling card
C C 
 
He said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well, I jumped up, turned around,
F F 
 
spit in the air
Fell on the ground and asked him
C C 
 
which was the way back home
He said, take a right at the light
F F 
 
Keep goin' straight until night
C C 
 
And then, boy, you're on your own

Verse 5
C C 
 
And now in Zanzibar
F F 
 
A shootin' star was ridin' in a side car
C C 
 
Hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said, blow the bar
F F 
 
first remove the cookie jar
We're gonna teach those boys
C C 
 
to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap
F F 
 
was complainin'
That he caught the clap
C C 
 
from some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap
F F 
 
and between his ears
C C 
 
I saw a gap and figured he'd be alright

Chorus 3
F F 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
He was just blinded by the light
F F 
 
G G 
 
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
C C 
 
another runner in the night
F F 
 
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Am Am 
 
Blinded by the light
G G 
 
Mama always told me not to look
F F 
 
into the sights of the sun
C C 
 
F F 
 
C C 
 
Oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is

Solo 1
F F 
 
C C 
 
I was blinded
F F 
 
C C 
 
I was blinded
F F 
 
C C 
 
I was blinded
F F 
 
C C 
 
I was blinded
[repeat and fade]
