Verse 1
[Esus4-E] The minstrel in [A-B]the gal[G-D]lery looked down upon the smili[A]ng faces
[A-E] He met the gaze[A-B]s observed the sp[G-D]aces between the old m[A]en's cackle
[A-E]Then he brewed a son[A-B]g of love and hatre[G-D]d obliquesuggestions and h[A]e waited
[A-E]He polarized [A-B]the pumpkin-eaters [G-D] static-hummin[A]g 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].
Verse 2
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 helooked 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.
The minstrel in the gallery yea yes
Looked down upon the smiling faces
Yost with the Most
