  CAPO 2

`
`
==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
