      C
Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball.
      A#
From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all.
      G#
But I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall.
     Gsus4                     G                  C
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays mean pinball.

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:
        F  G    C             F      G     C
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist.
   F  G    C            D#             A#  D#   A#    D#  
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist.
A#7         G#     D#   A#                       A#        G#   D#  A#
How do you think  he   does it? (I don't know.) What makes him so good?

Well, he ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes and bells
Don't see lights a-flashin', he plays by sense of smell
Always has a replay, never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

Chorus:
He can't beat me now, I've always been the champ
I know every trick, no freak's gonna beat my hand

Even on my usual table, he can beat the best
His disciples lead him in, and he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers, I've never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

Chorus:
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist

He's a pinball wizard, he scores a trillion more
A pinball wizard, the world's new pinball lord
He's scoring more, he's scoring more

I thought I was the Bally table king
But I just handed my pinball crown to him
To him, to him
