Verse 1
A
Madman drummers bummers
D/A
and Indians in the summer
E7
A
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
D/A
As the adolescent pumps
E7
A
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
D/A
feelin' kinda older
E7
A
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing
D/A
sneezing and wheezing
E7
A
The calliope crashed to the ground
Verse 2
A
Some all-hot half-shot
D
was headin' for the hot spot
A
Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot
D
was tied into a lover's knot
A
With a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot
D
Finally found a tender spot
A
and throws his lover in the sand
D
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers
Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot,
A
turn up the band
Chorus 1
D
E
A
And she was blinded by the light
D
E
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
A
another runner in the night

F#m
Blinded by the light

She got down but she never got tight
D
A
But she'll make it alright
D

Verse 3
A
D
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone
A
Rolling stone preacher from the East
He says, dethrone the dictaphone
D
Hit it in its funny bone,
A
that's where they expect it least
And some new-mown chaperone was
D
standin' in the corner all alone
A
Watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone
D
was messin' with his frozen zone
A
To remind him of the feeling of romance
Chorus 2
D
E
A
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
D
E
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
A
another runner in the night

He got down but she never got tight
D
A
But he's gonna make it tonight

Bridge 1
E
Some silicone sister
with her manager's mister
D
A
Told me I got what it takes
E
She said, I'll turn you on, sonny
D
To something strong if you'll play that song
A
with the funky break
E
And Go-Cart Mozart
was checkin' out the weather chart
D
A
To see if it was safe to go outside
E
And little Early-Pearly
came by in her curly- whirly
D
A
And asked me if I needed a ride
Esus4
Oh, some hazard
Verse 4
A
from Harvard
D
was skunked on beer
A
Playin' backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard
D
They sent some dude with a calling card
A
He said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well, I jumped up, turned around,
D
spit in the air
Fell on the ground and asked him
A
which was the way back home
He said, take a right at the light
D
Keep goin' straight until night
A
And then, boy, you're on your own
Verse 5
A
And now in Zanzibar
D
A shootin' star was ridin' in a side car
A
Hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said, blow the bar
D
first remove the cookie jar
We're gonna teach those boys
A
to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap
D
was complainin'
That he caught the clap
A
from some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap
D
and between his ears
A
I saw a gap and figured he'd be alright
Chorus 3
D
E
A
He was just blinded by the light
D
E
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
A
another runner in the night
D
E
Bm
F#m
Blinded by the light
E
Mama always told me not to look
D
into the sights of the sun
A
D
A
Oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is
