CUBIST TOWN
As recorded by Manfred Mann
(From the 1968 Album MIGHTY GARVEY!)
[Intro]
Fm
[1st Verse]
FmThe world was Cmjust the world of pollen air
DbI wandered 'round and 'round the bAbusy square
FmI turned and floated gently upside downDb  
And one by one Ebthe peoCmple gathered 'rFmound
[2nd Verse]
FmThe rivers and the bridges Abturned to blFmueDb  
The thin age of the Fmnight is creeAbping through
FmThe orange sun is dying on the line
           Db        Ab   Eb               C     FN.C.
And slowly melts into    the sea of wine
[Chorus]
FGood night, Bbcubist town, good Amnight
The day has Fvanished with the Dmnight
The light has Bbvanished with the dayGm  
And the bride   Ampassed me BbquietlCy awaFmy
[3rd Verse]
FmThe table grows the evening meal's begun
DbThe wedding song Cmof love Dbhas just been Absung
FmBut there's to much of this, too much for me
I Dbgo outside where Ebdarkness  Csets me Ffree
[Chorus]
FGood night, Bbcubist town, good Amnight
The day has Fvanished with the Dmnight
The light has Bbvanished with the dayGm  
And the bride   Ampassed me BbquietlCy awaFmy
[4th Verse]
FmI thought I saw the house where you were born
FmA yellow house, the color of the corn
FmI thought I saw strange beasts out there in the sky
But Dbmusic filled my mFmind, then they passed by
[Chorus]
FGood night, Bbcubist town, good Amnight
The day has Fvanished with the Dmnight
The light has Bbvanished with the dayGm  
And the bride   Ampassed me BbquietlCy awaFmy
But Dbmusic filled my miEbnd, then Cthey passed Gby
[Outro]
FGood night, Bbcubist town, good Cnight
The day has Bbvanished with the Fnight
Good night, Bbcubist town, good Cnight
The night has Bbvanished with the Fday
Good night, Bbcubist town, good Cnight
The day has Bbvanished with the Fnight
Good night, Bbcubist town, good Cnight
