Verse 1
B
Madman drummers bummers
E/B
and Indians in the summer
F#7
B
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
E/B
As the adolescent pumps
F#7
B
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
E/B
feelin' kinda older
F#7
B
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing
E/B
sneezing and wheezing
F#7
B
The calliope crashed to the ground
Verse 2
B
Some all-hot half-shot
E
was headin' for the hot spot
B
Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot
E
was tied into a lover's knot
B
With a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot
E
Finally found a tender spot
B
and throws his lover in the sand
E
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers
Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot,
B
turn up the band
Chorus 1
E
F#
B
And she was blinded by the light
E
F#
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
B
another runner in the night
E

C#m
G#m
Blinded by the light

She got down but she never got tight
E
B
But she'll make it alright
E
G#m
Verse 3
B
E
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone
B
Rolling stone preacher from the East
He says, dethrone the dictaphone
E
Hit it in its funny bone,
B
that's where they expect it least
And some new-mown chaperone was
E
standin' in the corner all alone
B
Watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone
E
was messin' with his frozen zone
B
To remind him of the feeling of romance
Chorus 2
E
F#
B
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
E
F#
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
B
another runner in the night
E

G#m

He got down but she never got tight
E
B
But he's gonna make it tonight

G#m
Bridge 1
F#
Some silicone sister
with her manager's mister
E
B
Told me I got what it takes
F#
She said, I'll turn you on, sonny
E
To something strong if you'll play that song
B
with the funky break
F#
And Go-Cart Mozart
was checkin' out the weather chart
E
B
To see if it was safe to go outside
F#
And little Early-Pearly
came by in her curly- whirly
E
B
And asked me if I needed a ride
F#sus4
Oh, some hazard
Verse 4
B
from Harvard
E
was skunked on beer
B
Playin' backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard
E
They sent some dude with a calling card
B
He said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well, I jumped up, turned around,
E
spit in the air
Fell on the ground and asked him
B
which was the way back home
He said, take a right at the light
E
Keep goin' straight until night
B
And then, boy, you're on your own
Verse 5
B
And now in Zanzibar
E
A shootin' star was ridin' in a side car
B
Hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said, blow the bar
E
first remove the cookie jar
We're gonna teach those boys
B
to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap
E
was complainin'
That he caught the clap
B
from some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap
E
and between his ears
B
I saw a gap and figured he'd be alright
Chorus 3
E
F#
B
He was just blinded by the light
E
F#
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
B
another runner in the night
E
F#
C#m
G#m
Blinded by the light
F#
Mama always told me not to look
E
into the sights of the sun
B
E
B
Oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is
