==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 
` 
` 

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 
` 
` 
==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 Carnival
