EmWell, madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat B7 In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hatEm With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-rounB7d With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the grounEmd
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for B7the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands Em And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
Now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispeEmrs, "Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band"
We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the lightB7 We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the light Em Yeah!
Em x4 B7 x4 Em x4 B7 x4
Some Amsilicone sister with her manager's mister Gtold me I got what it takes Said, "I'll Amturn you on sonny, to something strong if you Gplay that song with the funky break" AmGo-cart Mozart checkin' out the weather chart to Gsee if it was safe to go outside AmLittle Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly, B7asked me if I needed a ride
EmSome hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardierB7 And Scotland YardEm was trying hard, sent some dude with a calling card, said, "Do what you like, don't do it here" B7Some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night I unsnapped his skull cap, between his ears I saw a gap, figured he'd be all rightEm
We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the lightB7 We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the lightEm We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the lightB7 We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the lightEm
AmMama always told me not to look into the sights of the sunEm Oh but B7mama That's where the funEm is
Outro: Em x7 B7 x4 Em x4 B7 x4 One, two, one, two, three! Whoa!
Em(Blinded, blinded, blinded baby by the light B7 Em (3 beats) Blinded, blinded, blinded baby by the light)
