Pinball Wizard         The Who, Elton John, Rod Stewart

 

Bsus                                                                     B

Ever since I was a young boy / I’ve played the silver ball

Asus                                                               A

From Soho down to Brighton / I must have played them all

             Gsus                                                           G

But I ain’t seen nothing like him / In any amusement hall

            F#sus                                                 F#7                                                   ( B     A   D   E ) 2x

That deaf, dumb and blind kid  / Sure plays a mean pinball

                               E               B                                  E                      B

He’s a pinball wizard / There’s has to be a twist

E                    B                                   G                            D

A pinball wizard / He’s got such a supple wrist

 

D 

How do you think he does it? / (I don’t know) / What makes him so good?

 

He stands like a statue / Becomes part of the machine

Feeling all the bumpers / Always playing clean / He plays by intuition / The digit counters fall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid  / Sure plays a mean pinball     Chorus

 

D 

How do you think he does it? / (I don’t know) / What makes him so good?

 

He ain’t got no distractions / Can’t hear those buzzers and bells

Don’t see lights a flashin’ / Plays by sense of smell  / Always gets a replay / Never tilts at all

That deaf, dumb and blind kid / Sure plays a mean pinball

 

I thought I was / The body table king / But I just handed / My pinball crown to him

 

Even on my usual table / He can beat my best / His disciples lead him in / And he just does the rest

He’s got crazy flippin’ fingers / Never seen him fall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid / Sure plays a mean pinball
