Intro: Gbm E D Gbm

Verse 1:
Gbm                                           E
   Well, I've walked these streets, a virtual stage it seemed to me
D                                                        Gbm
Make-up on their faces, actors took their places next to me
Gbm                                           E
   Well, I've walked these streets in a carnival of sights to see
D                                                                Gbm
All the cheap thrill seekers, the vendors and the dealers, they crowded around me

Chorus:
A
  Have I been blind
            E
Have I been lost inside myself and my own mind
D
Hypnotized, mesmerized
                     Gbm
By what my eyes have seen

Verse 2:
Gbm                                      E
   I've walked these streets in a spectacle of wealth and poverty
D                                                      Gbm
 In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me
Gbm                                      E
   And I've walked these streets in the madhouse asylum they can be
        D                                                           Gbm
where a wild eyed misfit prophet on a traffic island stopped and he raved of saving me

Chorus:
A
  Have I been blind
            E
Have I been lost inside myself and my own mind
D
Hypnotized, mesmerized
                     Gbm
By what my eyes have seen

A
  Have I been wrong
            E
Have I been wise to shut my eyes and play along
D
Hypnotized, paralyzed
                     Gbm
By what my eyes have found
   D                 E
By what my eyes have seen
             Gbm
What they've seen

Instrumental:
   Gbm  E  D   Gbm
   Gbm  E  D   Gbm

Chorus 2:
A             E                  D
  Have I been blind, have I been lost
            A                  E                 D
Have I been wrong, have I been wise, have I been strong

Have I been?
A                      E
Hypnotized, mesmerized
                     D
By what my eyes have found
   Gbm        D           E
In that great street carnival

A             E                  D
  Have I been blind, have I been lost
            A                  E                 D
Have I been wrong, have I been wise, have I been strong

Have I been?
A                      E
Hypnotized, mesmerized
                     D
By what my eyes have found
   Gbm        D           E
In that great street carnival
             Gbm
In that carnival
