[Strophe]
     Bsus4                         B 
Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball 
     Asus4                    A 
From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played them all 
      Gsus4                           G 
But I ain't seen nothing like him, in any amusement hall 
     F#sus4                    F#5                 [ B ] 
That deaf, dumb and blind kid, sure plays a mean pinball
[Instrumentale]
| B B A  D | E | B B A  D | E |
[Strophe]
   Bsus4                         B 
He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine 
Asus4                    A 
Feeling all the bumpers, always playing clean 
Gsus4                   G 
Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall 
     F#sus4                    F#5                 [ B ] 
That deaf, dumb and blind kid, sure plays a mean pinball
[Instrumentale]

[Refrain]
       E  F#   B 
He's a pinball wizard 
      E      F#   B 
There has to be a twist 
  E  F#   B            G              D Dsus4   D  
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist
[Interlude]
D          Cadd9 [ G/B ] D           Cadd9 [ G/B ] 
How do you think   he    does it? (I don't know) 
D          Cadd9 [ G/B ] D 
What makes him      so   good?
[Strophe]
Bsus4                            B 
Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzers and bells 
      Asus4                     A 
Don't see no lights a flashin', plays by sense of smell 
Gsus4                 G 
Always gets a replay, never seen him fall 
     F#sus4                    F#5                  [ B ] 
That deaf, dumb and blind kid, sure plays a mean pinball

[Refrain]
  E       F# B 
I thought I  was 
    E     F#    B 
The Bally table king 
    E F#   B         G                 D Dsus4   D  
But I just handed my pinball crown to him
[Instrumentale]

[Strophe]
     Dsus4                  D 
Even on my favourite table, he can beat my best 
       Csus4                   C 
His disciples lead him in, and he just does the rest 
         Bbsus4                 Bb 
He's got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall 
     Asus4                     A5                  [ D ] 
That deaf, dumb and blind kid, sure plays a mean pinball
