Unfortunately, the guitars on the record are tuned down to C[C#], or something like that. This is the way I've heard Pete play it live (in key of E), but the same solo as on the record. [use the woodstock version from kids are alright, or the 30 years box set]

This is the way I play it on one guitar. I've tabbed the bass riff which makes it sound better. But on the record, Pete just hits that Gm chord over and over.

SOLO: Unfortunately, Pete plays the solo on either a guitar tuned to Eb, or the E string tuned down to Eb (or maybe ALL the guitars tuned down), so if you don't have two guitars you can either 1) play all chords up a 1/2 step or 2) don't pluck the low E string on the solo and play it in Eb. This is the way it's played on record.

Surrounded by his friends, He sits so silently and unaware of everything. Playing poxy pinball, picks his nose and smiles, Pokes his tounge at everything I believe in love, but how can men who've never Seen life be enlightened? Only if he's cured will his Spirit's future level ever heighten. [Repeat CHORUS]

There are two guitars, one playing the descending riff (tabbed here) and the other playing around with the chords, which I've listed. Also, I couldn't fit all the lyrics along with the tab, but just listen to the record, they're very clearly sung.

PINBALL WIZARD
by The Who [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.

MIRACLE CURE/SALLY SIMPSON
by The Who
She arrived at six and the place was swingin' To gospel music by nine. Group after group appeared on the stage And Sally just sat there cryin'. She stood there looking pretty as a picture Right in the very front row. Then a D.J. wearin' a blazer with a badge Ran on and said "Here we go!"
1) MIRACLE CURE F Gm Ab Extra, extra, read all about it! Eb Bb The pinball wizard and the miracle cure. F Gm Ab Bb F Extra, extra, read all about it. Extra!
[BRIDGE] D7 G D7 G The crowd went crazy as Tommy hit the stage. D7 Em Little Sally got lost as the police bossed the A D Dsus4 D Crowd back in a rage.
2) SALLY SIMPSON INTRO: (C: 3 x 2 0 1 3 ) C --> G C --> G VERSE: C G Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced C G That Sally couldn't go to the meeting. C G He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce, C G And she ran inside a-weeping. C G She got to her room and tears splashed the picture C G Of her new messiah. C G She picked up a book of her father's life and C G Gsus4 G G Threw it on the fire.
Soon the atmosphere was cooler and Tommy gave a lesson. Sally just had to let him know she loved him And leapt up on the rostrum. She ran across the stage to the spotlit figure and Brushed him on the face. Tommy whirled round as a uniformed man Threw her off the stage. [Repeat CHORUS] Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down, Mingling with her tears. Tommy carried on preaching and his voice filled Sally's ears. She caught his eye. She had to try, But he couldn't see through the lights. Her face was gashed and the ambulance man Had to carry her out that night.
[CHORUS] F She knew from the start, deep down in her heart. G Gsus4 G That she and Tommy were worlds apart. F C But her mother said "Never mind. Your part is to D G G7 Be what you'll be."
[BRIDGE 2] D7 G D7 G The crowd went crazy as Tommy left the stage. D7 Em Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch and a A D Dsus D Gash across her face. Ooooh.
The theme of the sermon was "Come unto me and love will find a way." So Sally decided to ignore her dad and sneak out anyway. She spent all afternoon getting ready and Decided she'd try to touch him. Maybe he'd see that she was free and talk to her this Sunday.
Sixteen stitches put her right and her dad said, "Don't say I didn't warn you!" Sally got married to a rock musician she met in California. Tommy always talks about the day the disciples all went wild. Sally still carries a scar on her cheek to Remind her of his smile.
