Blinded By The Light
by Manfred Mann
(Tunelist)

{Chorus
A       B      E
Blinded by the light
        A        B             E
Revved up like a deuce another runner in the night} x3

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

[CHORUS]


Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
She said I'll turn you on sonny to something strong
If you play that song with the funky break
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart
To see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly
And asked me if I needed a ride
 A                       E  C#m
asked me if I needed a ride and she was...

[CHORUS]

  A     B      E C#m B                                      A                 E  A    E C#m
Blinded by the light she got down but she never got tight,  she's gonna make it thorugh the night
A                 E  A    E C#m
she's gonna make it thorugh the night

B                                                      A
Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun
E                            A          E   A
but mama that's where the fun is.....ooh
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone reminding him of romance
the calliope crashed to the ground and she was...

CHORUS
A       B      E
blinded by the light
        A        B             E
Revved up like a deuce another runner in the night
  A     B      E
Blinded by the light

A       B      E
blinded by the light
    A            B             E
cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
  A     B      E
Blinded by the light

                  A                           B                                E
Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
                                      A                               B                    E
And some bloodshot forget-me-not says Daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band

B                                    A                 E  A    E C#m
She got down but she never got tight she's gonna' make it through the night.
