 [Verse]
      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.

That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays mean pinball.


 [Verse]
    C
He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine.
Bb
Feeling all the bumpers, always playing clean.
Ab
Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall.
     Gsus4                     G                C  C  Bb  Eb  Fsus  F

He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist.

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


[Verse]
C
Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes or bells.
Bb
Don't see lights a-flashing, plays by sense of smell.
Ab
Always gets a replay, never tilts at all.
     Gsus4                      G               C  C  Bb  Eb  Fsus  F

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.

     C
Even on my usual table he can't beat my best.

His disciples lead him in, and he just does the rest.

He got crazy flipper fingers - I never seen him fall.
