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]   /                  /      /  
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]
(tr.) (tr.)
[A]       [Asus4]      (eof)
