[Bm]
[F#]
[G]
[F#]
[B]
Ever since I was a young boy I played with silver balls
From [A] Soho down to Brighton I watched them play them all
[G] But I ain't seen nothing like you in any amusement hall
[F#] That dumb little flying kid [B] sure can read people
[D]
[E]
[D] [E] He [B] flies like a fat, two-bit old formula machine
[A] Reading all the numbers, all these great things
He [G] plays lines to a tune, the digit counts for all
That [B] damn dumb flying kid sure plays a mean pinball
[E]
He's a [B] pinball wizard, [E]
that's to be [B] a tick
[E] A pinball [B]
wizard's [G] got such a supple [D]
wiz
And he thinks he's funny, [G]
but [C] meets him [D] so good
We [B] ain't got no distraction, down here no pubs and bars
Don't see [A] no lack of action, plays by sense and smell
[G] He always gets what he's paid, never chokes at all
That damn dumb [B] flying kid sure plays a mean pinball
[D]
[E]
But I wasn't fighting [B] to win
I just came out [G] to pinball my true [D] win
He's on my favorite table, he can't keep my best
His [C] disciples need a meal, and he just doesn't rest
He's [A#] got two flip-a-fingers, never seen him far
[A] That damn dumb flying kid sure [A#] plays a mean [D] pinball
[A#] [A]
