` ` ============ ============ ` ` ==INTRO== Em D C Em ` ` ==VERSE== Em D Well I've walked these streets a virtual stage it seemed to me. C Em Make-up on their faces, actors took their place next to me. Em D Well I've walked these streets in a Carnival of sites to see. C Em All the cheap thrill seekers; the vendors and the dealers they crowded around me ` `` ` ==VERSE== Em D I've walked these streets in a spectacle of wealth and poverty C Em In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet that they've just rolled out for me. Em D And I've walked these streets in the madhouse asylum they can be C Em where a wild eyed misfit profit on a traffic island stopped and he raved of saving me. ` ` ==Chorus== G Have I been blind D Have I been lost inside myself and my own mind C Hypnotized, Mesmerized Em By what my eyes have seen G Have I been wrong D Have I been wise to shut my eyes and play along C Hypnotized, Paralyzed Em By what my eyes have found, C D By what my eyes have seen Em What they've seen ` ` ==Instrumental== Em D C Em (x2) ` ` ==Chorus 2/OUTRO== G D C Have I been blind, have I been lost G D C Have I been wrong, have I been wise, have I been strong Have I been? ` ` G D Hypnotized, Mesmerized C By what my eyes have found Em C D In that great street carnival ` ` G D C Have I been blind, have I been lost G D C Have I been wrong, have I been wise, have I been strong Have I been? ` ` G D Hypnotized, Mesmerized C By what my eyes have found Em C D In that great street carnival Em In that CarnivalG Have I been blind D Have I been lost inside myself and my own mind C Hypnotized, Mesmerized Em By what my eyes have seen
