     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#                  [ B ]
That deaf, dumb and blind kid, sure plays a mean pinball

   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#                  [ B ]
That deaf, dumb and blind kid, sure plays a mean pinball

       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 ] D           Cadd9  [ G ]
How do you think   he  does it? (I don't know)

D          Cadd9 [ G ] 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#                   [ B ]
That deaf, dumb and blind kid, sure plays a mean pinball

  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

     Dsus4              D
Even on my usual 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                     A                   [ D ]
That deaf, dumb and blind kid, sure plays a mean pinball
