Pinball Wizard by Who
q- quarter note (1 beat)
e- eighth note (1/2 beat
s- sixteenth note (1/4 beat)
g- grace note (Play quickly before the following note)
(NOTE: In case it helps anybody, I put the chord changes on top of the bass
TABS. That's what the uppercase letters mean. The lowercase letters are the
time values.)
The bass comes in after the intro, starting with the verse.
VERSE:
This is over the Bsus4-B chord progression
"Ever since I was..........

For the following lines, I haven't given time values because the notes change
with the chord and that is easy to hear.
After "Sure plays a mean pinball," play this twice:

After "Sure plays a mean pinball," play this twice:
(Again, the notes follow the chord, so I have not put time values.)

E---5-5---1----||
A few notes:
The verse lines all have the same rythym
The verse lines (except for the last) all have the same fingering patters,
they just slide down two frets when the chord changes. The last verse
follows this pattern, but with its own fingering pattern.
