The style of the song and the way it was originally recorded, makes the timings very open to variation.
If you're familiar enough with the song, you'll figure it out. I've had to break a couple of lines in
verses 5 and 6 because they extended outside the red margin when submitting
The end is also odd due to the backing and main lyric overlapping. The timings are pretty easy though.
DMadman drummers bummers and GIndians in the summer with a A7teenage diplomatD
In the Ddumps with the mumps as the Gadolescent pumps his A7way into his hDat
With a Dboulder on my shoulder, Gfeelin' kinda older I A7tripped the merry-go-Dround
With this Dvery unpleasing, Gsneezing and wheezing, the caA7lliope crashed to the grounDd
Some Dall-hot half-shot was Gheadin' for a hot spot A7snappin' his fingers clappin' his handDs
And some Dfleshpot mascot was Gtied into a lover's knot with a A7whatnot in her hanDd
And now Dyoung Scott with a slingshot Gfinally found a tender spot and A7throws his lover in the sanDd
And some Dbloodshot forget-me-not whispers, &Gquot;Daddy's within earshot, saveA7 the buckshot, turn up the Dband"
Chorus:
And she was Gblinded Aby the Dlight
Oh, cut Gloose like a Adeuce another Drunner in the night
BliGnded Aby the DlightBm
AShe got down but she never got tight, but she'll Gmake it alDright
G Bm
Some Dbrimstone baritone Ganti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the easDt
He says, &Dquot;Dethrone the dictaphGone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it Dleast"
And some Dnew-mown chaperone was Gstandin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young girls dancDe
And some Dfresh-sown moonstone was Gmessin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of roDmance
Chorus:
And she was Gblinded Aby the Dlight
Oh, cut Gloose like a Adeuce another Drunner in the night
BliGnded Aby the DlightBm
AHe got down but he never got tight, but Ghe's gonna make itD toGnight Bm
Some Asilicone sister with her manager's mister Gtold me I got what it Dtakes
She said, "AI'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you'll play Gthat song with the fDunky break"
And AGo-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to Gsee if it was safe to go outDside
And Alittle Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly and Gasked me if I needed a Dride
Oh, some Dhazard from Harvard was Gskunked on beer playin' backyard bombardierD
Yes and DScotland Yard was trying hard, they Gsent a dude with a calling card who said,
"Do what you like, but don't do it hDere"
Well, I Djumped up, turned around, Gspit in the air, fell on the ground, asked him which was the way back Dhome
He said, "TaDke a right at the light, keep gGoin' straight until night, and then, boys, you're on your Down"
And now in DZanzibar a shootin' star was Gridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune D
Yes, and the Davatar said, "Blow the barG but first remove the cookie jar
we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon&quDot;
And some Dkidnapped handicap was compGlainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last nighDt
Well I unDsnapped his skull cap, beGtween his ears I saw a gap and figured he'd be all righDt
Chorus:
He was just Gblinded Aby the Dlight
Cut Gloose like a Adeuce another Drunner in the night
BliGnded Aby the DlightBm
AMama always told me not to look into the sights of the Gsun
DWhoa , but mama that's where the Gfun isD Ooh, yeahG
(I was Dblinded) Oh my mGy, oh my my
(I was Dblinded) Oh my Gmy
(I was Dblinded) I was Gblinded by the light
(I was Dblinded) I was Gblinded by the light
(I was Dblinded) I was Gblinded by the light
(I was Dblinded) I was Gblinded by the light
(I was Dblinded) I was Gblinded
(I was Dblinded) G
(I was Dblinded) G
