[First Part]

     C
Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball
     Bb
From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played them all
      Ab
But I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall
     G4                       G                   C C Bb Eb F4   F
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

[Second Part]

   C
He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine
Bb
Feeling all the bumpers, always playing clean
   Ab
He plays by intuition, the digit counters fall
     G4                       G                   C C Bb Eb F4   F
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

[Chorus]

       F  G    C             F      G    C
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
  F  G    C            Eb            Bb    Eb/Bb Bb Eb/Bb
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist
Continues after the ad
Bb7       Ab     Eb/G  Bb                         Bb       Ab  Eb/G      Bb
How do you think he  does it?  (I don't know.)  what makes him so good?

[Third Part]

   C
He ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzers and bells
Bb
Don't see lights a-flashing, he plays by sense of smell
Ab
Always has a replay, never tilts at all
     G4                       G                   C C Bb Eb F4   F
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

[Chorus]

   F     G       C         F      G        C
He can't beat me now, I've always been the champ
  F    G     C          Eb                    Bb    Eb/Bb   Bb   Eb/Bb
I know every trick - no freak's gonna beat my hand

[Fourth Part]

     C
Even on my usual table he can beat my best
       Bb
His disciples lead him in, and he just does the rest
       Ab
He got crazy flipper fingers - I never seen him fall
     G4                       G                   C C Bb Eb F4   F
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist
       G  A    D            G        A        D
He's a pinball wizard, he's scored a trillion more
  G  A    D           F                   C    F/C
A pinball wizard, the world's new pinball lord
C               D    D            E    E
   He's scorin' more.   He scored more

    G A    D         F                C   F/C   C    D   D     E
But I just handed my pinball crown to him.        To him.   To him
