- Key: Am or (A#m on the record)
-
- Intro: drums and guitar 0.5 0.5 1.0
- Am D Am D - Am Am - C - D
- Harry made a bareback rider proud and free upon a horse 0.5 0.5 0.5
- Am D D - Am Am - C - D
- And a fine coalminer for the NCB that was
-
- (repeat chord sequence ahead....)
-
- A fallen angel and Jesus on the cross
- A skating ballerina you should have seen her do the skater's waltz
-
- Some people have got to paint and draw
- Harry had to work iin clay and stone
- Like the waves coming to the shore
- It was in his blood and in his bones
- Ignored by all the trendy boys in London and in Leeds
-
- Am D - G - C G
- CHORUS: He might as well have been making toys or strings of beads
- C C G C slide D
- He could'nt be... He could'nt be..... in the gallery
-
- And then you get an artist says he doesn't want to paint at all
- He takes an empty canvas and sticks it on the wall
- The birds of a feather all the phonies and all of the fakes
- While the dealers they get together
- And they decide who gets the breaks
- And who's going to be in the gallery
-
- Solo: Follow 1 verse chord pattern
- and then do the chorus
-
- No lies he wouldn't compromise
- No junk no bits of string
- And all the lies we subsidise
- That just don't mean a thing
- I've got to say he passed away in obscurity
- And now all the vultures are coming down from the tree
- So he's going to be in the gallery
-
- (keep chord sequence going
- ie Am - D.C / Am - D.C)
