[Verse 1]
     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


[Instrumental]
| B B A  D | E | B B A  D | E |


[Verse 2]

   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


[Instrumental]
| B B A  D | E | B B A  D | E |


[Chorus 1]
       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


[Middle 8]
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?


[Verse 3]
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


[Instrumental]
| B B A  D | E | B B A  D | E |


[Chorus 2]
  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


[Interlude] key change
| Dsus4 | D | Dsus4 | D |
| Dsus4 | D | Dsus4 | D |


[Verse 4]
     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


[Instrumental outro]
| D D  C   F |
