[A]                [Am]     [C]     o [Dsus2]
    The minstrel in the gallery

        /     /              / \
        [A]     [Dsus2]          o [A]
looked down upon the smiling faces.

   /       /       /        /   /  \
   [F]       [C]       [F]        [F]   o  [G]
He met the gazes - observed the spaces

/           /    /\   / \
[Dsus2]                 o [A]
between the old men's cackle.

   /        /       /    /   / \
   [A]        [Am]      [C]        o [Dsus2]
He brewed a song of love and hatred -

 [G]                  [Dsus2]  o  [A]
oblique suggestions and he waited.

[F]  He pola[C]rized the [F]pump[G]kin [C]eaters -

[F]  static-[C]humming [F]pa[G]nel-[C]beaters -

[F]  freshly [C]day-glow'd [F]fac[G]tory [C]cheaters

[F]  (salar[C]ied and [F]col[G]lar-[C]scrubbing).

[A]         [Am]    [C]      o [Dsus2]
  He titillated men-of-action -

[F]     [C]        [F]     [F]     o  [G]
belly warming, hands still rubbing

[G]      [Dsus2]            o  [A]
on the parts they never mention.

[A]        [Am]       [C]     o  [Dsus2]       [G]
  He pacified the nappy-suffering,

[G]      [Dsus2]        [Dsus4]  o [A]
infant-bleating one-line   jokers -

[F]T.V. [C]docu[F]men[G]tary [C]makers

[F](over[C]fed and[F] un[G]der[C]takers).

[A]      [Am]    [C]          o  [Dsus2]
Sunday paper backgammon players -

[F]family-[C]scarred and [F]women-[C]haters.

Then he [F]called the [C]band down [F]to [G]the the [C]stage

and he [F]looked at [C]all

the [Dm]frie[A7sus4]nds     he'd [Am]made[C].  [Cadd9/F#]            [F]
