     A
Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball,
      G
from Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all,
      F
but I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall,
      E                        E7                    A  G C D
that deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball.

He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine,
G
feeling all the bumpers, always playing clean.
F
Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall,

He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist,
 D        A           F              C
a pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist.

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

  A
Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes or bells,
     G
don't see the lights a-flashing, plays by sense of smell,
F
always gets a replay, never seen him fall,

I thought I was the Bally table king,

but I just handed my pinball crown to him.

Even on my favourite table, he can beat my best,
     Bb
his disciples lean him in, and he just does the rest,

got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall,
