[Verse 1]
Madman [C]drummers bummers
and [F]Indians in the summer
With a [G]teenage [C]diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
As the [F]adolescent pumps
his [G]way into his [C]hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
[F]feelin' kinda older
[G]I tripped the merry-go-r[C]ound
With this very unpleasing
[F]sneezing and wheezing
The calli[G]ope crashed to the [C]ground

[Verse 2]
Some [C]all-hot half-shot
was [F]headin' for the hot spot
Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his [C]hands
And some fleshpot mascot
was [F]tied into a lover's knot
With a whatnot in her [C]hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot
[F]Finally found a tender spot
and throws his lover in the [C]sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whis[F]pers
Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot,
turn up the [C]band

[Chorus 1]
And she was [F]blinded [G]by the [C]light
Oh, cut [F]loose like a [G]deuce,
another [C]runner in the night
[F]Blinded [G]by the [Dm]light[Am]
[G]She got down but she never got tight
But she'll [F]make it [C]alright
[F][Am]

[Verse 3]
Some [C]brimstone baritone [F]anti-cyclone
Rolling stone preacher from the [C]East
He says, dethrone the dictaphone
[F]Hit it in its funny bone,
that's where they expect it [C]least
And some new-mown chaperone was
[F]standin' in the corner all alone
Watchin' the young girls [C]dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone
was [F]messin' with his frozen zone
To remind him of the feeling of ro[C]mance

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, he was [F]blinded [G]by the [C]light
Oh, cut [F]loose like a [G]deuce,
another [C]runner in the night
[F]Blinded [G]by the [Dm]light[Am]
[G]He got down but she never got tight
But [F]he's gonna make it [C]tonight
[F][Am]

[Bridge 1]
Some [G]silicone sister
with her manager's mister
[F]Told me I got what it [C]takes
She said, I'll [G]turn you on, sonny
To something strong if you'll play that [F]song
with the funky [C]break
And [G]Go-Cart Mozart
was checkin' out the weather chart
To [F]see if it was safe to go out[C]side
And [G]little Early-Pearly
came by in her curly- whirly
And [F]asked me if I needed a [C]ride
[G]Oh, some hazard

[Verse 4]
[C]from Harvard
was [F]skunked on beer
Playin' backyard bombar[C]dier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard
They sent [F]some dude with a calling card
He said, do what you like, but don't do it [C]here
Well, I jumped up, turned around,
[F]spit in the air
Fell on the ground and asked him
which was the way back [C]home
He said, take a right at the light
Keep goin' [F]straight until night
And then, boy, you're on your [C]own

[Verse 5]
And now in [C]Zanzibar
A shootin' star was ridin' in a [F]side car
Hummin' a lunar [C]tune
Yes, and the avatar said, blow the bar
[F]first remove the cookie jar
We're gonna teach those boys
to laugh too [C]soon
And some kidnapped handicap
was com[F]plainin'
That he caught the clap
from some mousetrap he bought last [C]night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap
and bet[F]ween his ears
I saw a gap and figured he'd be al[C]right

[Chorus 3]
He was just [F]blinded [G]by the [C]light
Oh, cut [F]loose like a [G]deuce,
another [C]runner in the night
[F]Blinded [G]by the [Dm]light[Am]
[G]Mama always told me not to look
into the sights of the [F]sun
[C]Oh, but Mama, that's where [F]the fun [C]is

[Solo 1]
[F]I was bli[C]nded
[F]I was bli[C]nded
[F]I was bli[C]nded
[F]I was bli[C]nded
[repeat and fade]
