Capo 2

[D]Madman drummers bummers 
and [G]Indians in the summer 
with a [A7]teenage diplomat[D]
In the [D]dumps with the mumps 
as the [G]adolescent pumps 
his [A7]way into his h[D]at
With a [D]boulder on my shoulder 
[G]feelin kinda older 
I [A7]tripped the 
merry-go-[D]round
With this [D]very unpleasing 
[G]sneezing and wheezing 
the ca[A7]lliope crashed 
to the groun[D]d

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

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

[G][Bm]

Some [D]brimstone baritone 
[G]anti-cyclone 
rolling stone 
preacher from the eas[D]t
He says [D]Dethrone 
the dictaphone 
[G]hit it in it's  funny bone 
that's where they 
expect it least[D]
And some [D]new-mown chaperone 
was [G]standin in the 
corner all alone 
watchin the young 
girls danc[D]e
And some [D]fresh-sown moonstone 
was [G]messin with his 
frozen zone 
to remind him of the 
feeling of ro[D]mance

And she was [G]blinded 
[A]by the [D]light
Oh cut [G]loose like a [A]deuce 
another [D]runner in the night
Bli[G]nded [A]by the [D]light[Bm]
[A]He got down but he never got tight 
but [G]hes gonna make 
it[D] to[G]night[Bm]

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

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

And now in [D]Zanzibar a shootin star 
was [G]ridin in a side car 
hummin a lunar tune[D]
Yes and the [D]avatar said 
Blow the bar but 
[G]first remove the cookie jar
were gonna teach those boys 
to laugh too soon[D]
And some [D]kidnapped handicap 
was comp[G]lainin that he 
caught the clap 
from some mousetrap he 
bought last nigh[D]t
Well I un[D]snapped his skull cap 
be[G]tween his ears 
I saw a gap and figured 
hed be all righ[D]t

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

I was [D]blinded[G]
