Verse 1
Db
Madman drummers bummers
Gb/Db
and Indians in the summer
Ab7
Db
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
Gb/Db
As the adolescent pumps
Ab7
Db
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
Gb/Db
feelin' kinda older
Ab7
Db
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing
Gb/Db
sneezing and wheezing
Ab7
Db
The calliope crashed to the ground
Verse 2
Db
Some all-hot half-shot
Gb
was headin' for the hot spot
Db
Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot
Gb
was tied into a lover's knot
Db
With a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot
Gb
Finally found a tender spot
Db
and throws his lover in the sand
Gb
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers
Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot,
Db
turn up the band
Chorus 1
Gb
Ab
Db
And she was blinded by the light
Gb
Ab
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
Db
another runner in the night
Gb
Ab
Ebm
Bbm
Blinded by the light
Ab
She got down but she never got tight
Gb
Db
But she'll make it alright
Gb

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

Bridge 1
Ab
Some silicone sister
with her manager's mister
Gb
Db
Told me I got what it takes
Ab
She said, I'll turn you on, sonny
Gb
To something strong if you'll play that song
Db
with the funky break
Ab
And Go-Cart Mozart
was checkin' out the weather chart
Gb
Db
To see if it was safe to go outside
Ab
And little Early-Pearly
came by in her curly- whirly
Gb
Db
And asked me if I needed a ride
Absus4
Oh, some hazard
Verse 4
Db
from Harvard
Gb
was skunked on beer
Db
Playin' backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard
Gb
They sent some dude with a calling card
Db
He said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well, I jumped up, turned around,
Gb
spit in the air
Fell on the ground and asked him
Db
which was the way back home
He said, take a right at the light
Gb
Keep goin' straight until night
Db
And then, boy, you're on your own
Verse 5
Db
And now in Zanzibar
Gb
A shootin' star was ridin' in a side car
Db
Hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said, blow the bar
Gb
first remove the cookie jar
We're gonna teach those boys
Db
to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap
Gb
was complainin'
That he caught the clap
Db
from some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap
Gb
and between his ears
Db
I saw a gap and figured he'd be alright
Chorus 3
Gb
Ab
Db
He was just blinded by the light
Gb
Ab
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
Db
another runner in the night
Gb
Ab
Ebm
Bbm
Blinded by the light
Ab
Mama always told me not to look
Gb
into the sights of the sun
Db
Gb
Db
Oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is
