Manfred Mann

^A blinded ^B by the ^E light
Revved u ^A p like a ^B deuce another ^E runner in the night
^E Madman drummers bummers and I ^A ndians in the summer with a ^B teenage diplomat ^E
In the dumps with the mumps as the ^A adolescent pumps his ^B way into his ^E hat
With a boulder on my shoulder ^A feelin' kinda older I ^B tripped the merry-go- ^E round
With this very unpleasing ^A sneezing and wheezing the ^B calliope crashed to the ^E ground
the ^B calliope crashed to the ^E ground and she was...
CHORUS
^A blinded ^B by the ^E light
Revved u ^A p like a ^B deuce another ^E runner in the night
^A Blinded ^B by the ^E light
Some si ^B licone sister with her manager's mister tol ^A d me I got what it tak ^E es
She said I'll turn ^B you on sonny to something strong if you play that s ^A ong with the funky brea ^E k
And go ^B -cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see ^A if it was safe out ^E side
And litt ^B le Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and a ^A sked me if I needed a ri ^E de
a ^A sked me if I needed a ri ^E de ^C#m and she was...
CHORUS
^A blinded ^B by the ^E light
Revved u ^A p like a ^B deuce another ^E runner in the night
Bl ^A inded ^B by the ^E li ^C#m ght ^B she got down but she never got tight, ^A she's gonna make i ^E t t ^A horug ^E h ^C#m the night
^A she's gonna make i ^E t t ^A horug ^E h ^C#m the night
^B Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the su ^A n
^E but mama that's where the fun ^A is.....ooh ^{E A}
Some ^E brimstone baritone ^A anticyclone rolling ^B stone preacher from the ^E east
says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, ^A hit it in its funny bone, that's ^B where they expect it least ^E "
And some new-mown chaperone was ^A standin' in the corner ^B watchin' the young girls ^E dance
^E And some fresh-sown moonstone was ^A messin' with his frozen zone ^B reminding him of romance
the ^B calliope crashed to the ^E ground and she was...
CHORUS
^A blinded ^B by the ^E light
Revved u ^A p like a ^B deuce another ^E runner in the night
Bl ^A inded ^B by the ^E light
^A blinded ^B by the ^E light
cut ^A loose like a ^B deuce another ^E runner in the night
Bl ^A inded ^B by the ^E light
Scott with a sling ^A shot finally found a tender ^B spot and throws his lover in the ^E sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not says ^A Daddy's within earshot save the ^B buckshot turn up the ^E band
^B She got down but she never got tight ^A she's gonna' make ^E it ^A throu ^E gh ^C#m the night.
