[Intro: Avant-Garde Jazz Instrumentation, Piano, Saxophone, Bass, Drums]
[Ebmaj9] [G7#5] [F#m7] [B9]
[Verse 1: Avant-Garde Jazz Instrumentation, Expressive Vocals]
[Ebmaj9]Let us go then, you and I,
[G7#5]When the evening is spread out against the sky
[F#m7]Like a patient etherized upon a table;
[B9]Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
[Verse 2: Key Change to F# Major]
[F#maj9]The muttering retreats
[Am7]Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
[Db7]And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
[Emaj7]Streets that follow like a tedious argument
[Bridge: Key Change to A Major]
[Amaj9]Of insidious intent
[C#m7]To lead you to an overwhelming question...
[Eb7]Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
[Abmaj7]Let us go and make our visit.
[Instrumental Break: Key Change to C Major, Solos for Piano and Saxophone]
[Cmaj9] [F#m7] [B9] [E7#9]
[Verse 3: Key Change to Eb Major]
[Ebmaj9]In the room the women come and go
[G7#5]Talking of Michelangelo.
[Verse 4: Key Change to F Major]
[Fmaj9]And indeed there will be time
[Am7]To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”
[Db7]Time to turn back and descend the stair,
[F#maj7]With a bald spot in the middle of my hair—
[Chorus: Avant-Garde Jazz Instrumentation]
[B9]Do I dare
[Emaj7]Disturb the universe?
[C#m7]In a minute there is time
[G7#5]For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
[Outro: Avant-Garde Jazz Instrumentation, Piano, Saxophone, Bass, Drums]
[Ebmaj9]For I have known them all already, known them all—
[G7#5]Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
[F#m7]I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
[B9]I know the voices dying with a dying fall
[Ebmaj9]Beneath the music from a farther room.
[G7#5]So how should I presume?
[End]
