`
`
==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
`
`
==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
`
`
==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
`

==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 Carnival
