Minstrel in the Gallery Jethro Tull
electric part chords
[Esus4]The mi[E]nstrel in t[B]he gal[G]le[D]ry looked down upon the smili[A]ng faces.
[A] H[E]e met the gaze[A]s [B]--- observed the sp[G]ac[D]es between the old m[A]en's cackle.
[A]Th[E]en he brewed a son[A]g [B]of love and hatre[G]d-[D]-obliquesuggestions and h[A]e waited.
[A] [E] [A] [B] [G] [D] [A]
He polarized the pumpkin-eaters --- static-humming panel-beaters ---
[Bm]The mi[E]nstrel in the [A]gal[F#m]lery lo[D]oked down o[E]n the rabbit-[F#m]run.
[D]And thr[E]ew away his lo[A]oking[F#m]-glass - s[D]aw his[E] face in ever[F#m]yone[E].
(REST THE SAME)
He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating
one-line jokers --- T.V. documentary makers
(overfed and undertakers).
Sunday paper backgammon players --- family-scarred
and women-haters.
Then he called the band down to the stage and he
looked at all the friends he'd made.
The minstrel in the gallery looked down on the
rabbit-run.
And threw away his looking-glass - saw his face in
everyone.

[A]The mins[Am]trel in the g[C]alle[F]ry [G]looked down up[D]on the smiling [G]fa[A]ces.
H[F]e met the ga[C]zes --- observed the s[F]pa[G]ces
b[D]etween the old men's ca[G]ck[A]le.
[A]He brewed a [Am]song of lo[C]ve and [F]hat[G]red
[G] [D] [G] [A]
--- oblique suggestions --- and he waited.
[F]He pola[C]rized the p[F]ump[G]kin[C]-eaters --- s[F]ta[C]tic-hum[G]ming
[G]panel-beate[C]rs ---
[F]freshly[C] day-glow'd f[F]actor[G]y cheat[C]ers
[G] (salaried an[D]d collar-scrubb[G]in[A]g).
(REST THE SAME)
He titillated men-of-action --- belly warming, hands
still rubbing on the parts they never mention.
He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating
one-line jokers --- T.V. documentary makers
(overfed and undertakers).
Sunday paper backgammon players --- family-scarred
and women-haters.
Then he [F]called the [C]band do[F]wn t[G]o the[C] stage
and h[F]e looked at al[Em]l the fr[Dm]iends h[Am]e'd[Am/G] made[Am/F#]. [F] [A]
