Intro:
F minorFm

1st Verse:
F minorFm      C minorCm
The world was just the world of pollen air
DbDb                AbAb
I wandered 'round and 'round the busy square
F minorFm                   DbDb
I turned and floated gently upside down
        Eb MajorEb   C minorCm       F minorFm
And one by one the people gathered 'round

2nd Verse:
F minorFm             AbAb     F minorFm DbDb
The rivers and the bridges turned to blue
          F minorFm      AbAb
The thin age of the night is creeping through
F minorFm
The orange sun is dying on the line
  DbDb    AbAb   Eb MajorEb C majorC       FF  N.C.
And slowly melts into  the sea of wine

Chorus:

Good night, cubist town, good night
      FF         DmDm
The day has vanished with the night

The light has vanished with the day
       A minorAm      Bb majorBb  C majorC  F minorFm
And the bride  passed me quietly away

3rd Verse:
F minorFm
The table grows the evening meal's begun
DbDb        C minorCm   DbDb      AbAb
The wedding song of love has just been sung
F minorFm
But there's to much of this, too much for me
 DbDb        Eb MajorEb   C majorC     FF
I go outside where darkness sets me free

Chorus:
FF      Bb majorBb        A minorAm
Good night, cubist town, good night

The light has vanished with the day
       A minorAm      Bb majorBb  C majorC  F minorFm
And the bride  passed me quietly away

4th Verse:
F minorFm
I thought I saw the house where you were born
F minorFm
A augmentedA yellow house, the color of the corn
F minorFm
I thought I saw strange beasts out there in the sky
  DbDb        F minorFm
But music filled my mind, then they passed by
