Verse 1
G
Madman drummers bummers
C/G
and Indians in the summer
D7
G
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
C/G
As the adolescent pumps
D7
G
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
C/G
feelin' kinda older
D7
G
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing
C/G
sneezing and wheezing
D7
G
The calliope crashed to the ground
Verse 2
G
Some all-hot half-shot
C
was headin' for the hot spot
G
Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot
C
was tied into a lover's knot
G
With a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot
C
Finally found a tender spot
G
and throws his lover in the sand
C
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers
Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot,
G
turn up the band
Chorus 1
C
D
G
And she was blinded by the light
C
D
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
G
another runner in the night
C
D
Am
Em
Blinded by the light
D
She got down but she never got tight
C
G
But she'll make it alright
C
Em
Verse 3
G
C
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone
G
Rolling stone preacher from the East
He says, dethrone the dictaphone
C
Hit it in its funny bone,
G
that's where they expect it least
And some new-mown chaperone was
C
standin' in the corner all alone
G
Watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone
C
was messin' with his frozen zone
G
To remind him of the feeling of romance
Chorus 2
C
D
G
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
C
D
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
G
another runner in the night
C
D
Am
Em
Blinded by the light
D
He got down but she never got tight
C
G
But he's gonna make it tonight
C
Em
Bridge 1
D
Some silicone sister
with her manager's mister
C
G
Told me I got what it takes
D
She said, I'll turn you on, sonny
C
To something strong if you'll play that song
G
with the funky break
D
And Go-Cart Mozart
was checkin' out the weather chart
C
G
To see if it was safe to go outside
D
And little Early-Pearly
came by in her curly- whirly
C
G
And asked me if I needed a ride
Dsus4
Oh, some hazard
Verse 4
G
from Harvard
C
was skunked on beer
G
Playin' backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard
C
They sent some dude with a calling card
G
He said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well, I jumped up, turned around,
C
spit in the air
Fell on the ground and asked him
G
which was the way back home
He said, take a right at the light
C
Keep goin' straight until night
G
And then, boy, you're on your own
Verse 5
G
And now in Zanzibar
C
A shootin' star was ridin' in a side car
G
Hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said, blow the bar
C
first remove the cookie jar
We're gonna teach those boys
G
to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap
C
was complainin'
That he caught the clap
G
from some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap
C
and between his ears
G
I saw a gap and figured he'd be alright
Chorus 3
C
D
G
He was just blinded by the light
C
D
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
G
another runner in the night
C
D
Am
Em
Blinded by the light
D
Mama always told me not to look
C
into the sights of the sun
G
C
G
Oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is
Solo 1
