Verse 1

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 2

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

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

In that great street carnival

   Em         C      D
In that great street carnival
        Em
In that Carnival
