F#m E Well I've walked these streets in a Carnival of sites to see D All the cheap thrill seekers the vendors and the dealers F#m they crowded around me A Have been blind , have I been lost E Inside myself and my own mind D Hypnotize Mesmerize F#m by what my eyes have seen F#m E I've walked these streets in a spectacle of wealth and poverty D In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet F#m they've laid, just rolled out for me F#m E and I 've walked these streets in the madhouse asylum they can be D where a wild and misfit profit, a traffic island star F#m and he raves of saving me A Have I been wrong have I been wise E to shut my eyes and play along D Hypnotized, Paralyzed F#m by what my eyes have found By what my eyes have seen, What they have seen (SOLO) |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- |--/11--11^12^11-9--9^11^9-7----6-7-7^6-7^6------------- |----------------------------/9-------------7/9--------- |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------------ |------------------------------------------------------------ |----13-14-16B-BB-16^14-16---16-14--14-13--14-11-11-11^13^11- |-16--------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------------ |------------------------------------------------------------ |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- |-----------11-B--11-13-14--11-13-/16B--14-16-14-16-B--- |-12--12-14--------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- [A] |------------------------------------------------ |------------------------------------------------ |-14-16-18~-\-6---------------------------------- |-----------\-7---------------------------------- |-----------\-7---------------------------------- |-----------\-5---------------------------------- A Have been blind , have I been lost E Have I been wrong have I been wise A Have I been strong, Have I been...
