Pinball Wizard

by The Who

>From Tommy, 1969

Written by Pete Townshend

 

 

Original transcription by:

Marc Hirsh

=============

revised by

litgo@aol.com

=============

 

 

[original note:] `e' stands for eighth notes, `s' for

sixteenth, `q' for quarter, `h' for half, and, yes, even `w'

for whole notes. The rapid strumming parts can be fairly

improvised. The chords in the first 6 bars are strummed at a

speed so that you can almost hear each individual note. A

slide is indicated by a `/' for up and `\' for down. A period

after a note value means dotted. The chord parts are best

played with your index finger on the B string, middle on the

G string (using pinky for pull-offs), and ring finger on the

D string, with the thumb wrapping around and playing the low

E string. Sounds hard, but gets easier with practice.

He ain't got no distractions

Can't hear no buzzers and bells

Don't see lights a-flashin'

Plays be sense of smell

Always gets a replay

I've never seen him fall

That deaf, dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinball

 

I thought I was the Bally table king

But I just handed my pinball crown to him
