Blinded By The Light

D                           G                            A7              D
Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
       D                           G                    A7            D
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
       D                       G                     A7                   D
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
          D                G                            A7                         D
With this very unpleasing, sneezing and wheezing, the calliope crashed to the ground

     D                     G                      A7                                    D
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for a hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands
         D                   G                               A7                D
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
        D                            G                               A7                      
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the 
   D
sand
         D                                  G                                A7              
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn 
           D
up the band"


[Chorus]
            G       A      D
And she was blinded by the light
        G            A             D
Oh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
   G    A      D    Bm
Blinded by the light
A                                                G         D
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright

G Bm


[Verse]
     D                  G                                               D
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
          D                        G                                                          D
He says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
         D                      G                                                             D
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young girls dance
         D                        G                                                           
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of
   D
 romance


[Chorus]
            G       A      D
And she was blinded by the light
        G            A             D
Oh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
   G    A      D    Bm
Blinded by the light
A                                       G                 D  G     Bm
He got down but he never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight

[Verse]
     A                                         G                     D
Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
                A                                                          G                   
She said, "I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you'll play that song with the funky 
D
break"
    A                                                    G                           D
And Go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
    A                                                  G                      D
And little Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride

         D                       G                                          D
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier
        D                                   G
Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card who said,
                                         D
"Do what you like, but don't do it here"
        D                         G                                                           
Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground, asked him which was the
          D
 way back home
                 D                              G                                             
He said, "Take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then, boys, you're 
            D
on your own"


           D                            G                                         D
And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune
             D                              G
Yes, and the avatar said, "Blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar
                                                 D
we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon"
         D                          G                                                    
And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he 
                  D
bought last night
         D                        G                                                      D
Well I unsnapped his skull cap, between his ears I saw a gap and figured he'd be all right


[Chorus]
            G       A      D
He was just blinded by the light
    G            A             D
Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
   G    A      D    Bm
Blinded by the light
A                                                      G
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
D                                G     D         G
Whoa , but mama that's where the fun is Ooh, yeah
       D               G
(I was blinded) Oh my my, oh my my
       D              G
(I was blinded) Oh my my
       D              G
(I was blinded) I was blinded by the light
       D              G
(I was blinded) I was blinded by the light
       D              G
(I was blinded) I was blinded by the light
       D              G
(I was blinded) I was blinded by the light
       D              G
(I was blinded) I was blinded
       D              G
(I was blinded)
       D              G
(I was blinded)
