A A6 A7M A6 A A6 A7M A6
When they begin the beguine
A A6 A7M A6 E7
It brings back the sound of music so tender
Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
Bm5-/7 E7 E4/7 E7 A9 A
It brings back a memory ever green
A A6 A7M A6 A A6 A7M A6
I'm with you once more under the stars
A A7M F#m7 E7
And down by the shore, an orchestra's playing
E7 Bm5-/7 E7 D
And even the palms seem to be swaying
E7 E4/7 E7 A A6 A7M A6
When they begin the beguine
Bridge
Am D7 G
To live it again is past all endeavor
Gm C7 F7M F
Except when that tune clutches my heart
Cdim Dm E F
And there we are, swearing to love forever
E Dm7 E E7
And promising never, never to part
A A6 A7M A6 A A6 A7M A6
What moments divine, what rapture serene
A A7 E7
Til clouds came along to disperse the joy we had tasted
Dm Bm5-/7
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
E7 Bm5-/7 E7 A9 A
I know but too well what they mean.
E7 A6 A7M A6
So don't let them begin the beguine
E7 A A6 E7
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
D Bm7 C#m5-/7 F#m
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Bm5-/7 E7 Bm5-/7 E7 A A6
When they begin the beguine
E7 A A6 A A7M A6
Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
E7 A A6 A7M E7
Til the stars that were there before return above you
D Bm7 C#m5-/7 F#7
Til you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
Bm7 Bm5-/7
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
E7 A Am7
When they begin the beguine.
Bm7 Dm6 E7 A A6 A7M A6 A
