MINSTREL IN THE GALLERY

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.

Requiem

CAPO 3

[C]Well, I [Am]saw a bi[D]rd to[G]day --[D]- flying from a [Em]bush [Em/D]

[C]and the wi[Am]nd blew it aw[D]ay[Dsus4].

And the b[Bm]lack-eyed[E7] mother [A]sun scorched the [C#m]butterfly at [F#m]play[F#m/E]

--- velvet ve[D]ined. [Bm]I saw it [E]bur[E7/D]n.

[C]With a w[Am]intry storm-blown [G]sigh, a[F] silver c[Dm]loud blew right on [C]by.

And, taking in the [G]morn[Em]ing, I sa[D]ng[Dsus4] --- O Requi[G]em[G/F#]. [Em] [Em/D] [C]

(REST THE SAME)

Well, my lady told me, ``Stay.''

I looked aside and walked away along the Strand.

But I didn't say a word, as the train time-table blurred

close behind the taxi stand.

Saw her face in the tear-drop black cab window.

Fading in the traffic; watched her go.

And taking in the morning, heard myself singing ---

O Requiem.

Here I go again.

It's the same old story.

Well, I saw a bird today --- I looked aside and walked

away along the Strand.

and I'm probably bound to deceive you after all.

Something must be wrong with me and my brain

if I'm so painfully unrewarding

But my dreams are for dreaming and best left that way

and my zero to your power often equals nothing at all.

Double lock defense, there's no chain on my door

and I'm available for consultation

But remember your way in is also my way out,

and love's four letter word is no compensation

Black Ace dog handler I'm a waiter on skates

so don't you jump to your foresking conclusion

Cause I'm up to my deaf ears in cold breakfast trays

to be cleared before I can dine on your sweet

Sunday lunch confusion.

 And threw away his looking-glass - saw his face in

 There's a

 haze on the skyline to wish me on my way

 some roses on a tray
 And the motorway's [C]stretching [D]
 [Em]right [D]out to us [Em]all [D]
 as I pull on my [C]old wings
 [D]One [Em]White [D]Duck on your [Em]wall
 Isn't it [Bb]just to damn [Am]real?
 One White Duck on your [D]wall [Am]
 one duck on your [D]wall [Am]
 [G] 
 I'll catch a
 ride on your violin strung up on your bow
 and I'll float on your melody
 sing your chorus soft and low
 There's a picture-view postcard to say that I called
 You can see from the fireplace
 One White Duck on your wall
 Isn't it just too damn real?
 One White Duck on your wall
 One duck on your [D]wall [Em]

 So
 [G]fly away Peter and [C]fly away [G]Paul [G/F][G][G/F][G]

 F(with high G) C G G/F G G/F...
 and I'm probably bound to deceive you after all.
 
 Something must be wrong with me and my brain
 if I'm so painfully unrewarding
 But my dreams are for dreaming and best left that way
 and my zero to your power often equals nothing at all.
 
 Double lock defense, there's no chain on my door
 and I'm available for consultation
 But remember your way in is also my way out,
 and love's four letter word is no compensation
 
 Black Ace dog handler I'm a waiter on skates
 so don't you jump to your foresking conclusion
 Cause I'm up to my deaf ears in cold breakfast trays
 to be cleared before I can dine on your sweet
 Sunday lunch confusion.
