G Em Bm G7
That certain night, the night we met,
C B7 Em B7
There was magic abroad in the air;
G D7 G7 Cm
There were angels dining at the Ritz
G Em Am7 D7 G Em Am7 D7
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
G Em Am7 D7 G Em Em6 F#7
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
Bridge 1:
B7 C#m7/5- F#7
The moon that lingered over London town --
Bm Gdim C#m7/5- F#7
Poor, puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
B7 C#m7/5- F#7
How could he know we two were so in love
Bm Gdim Am7 D
The whole darn world seemed upside down. The streets of town were paved with stars,
It was such a romantic affair. And as we kissed and said "Good-bye,"
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. How strange it was, how sweet and strange;
There was never a dream to compare. With that hazy, crazy night we met
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. This heart of mine beat loud and fast,
Like a merry go round at the fair. For we were dancing cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Squre.
Bridge 2:
When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue. To interrupt our rendezvous,
I still remember how you smiled and said. "Was that a dream or was it true?"
Our homeward step was just as light. As the tap-dancing feet of Astaire,
And like an echo, far away,
G Em Am7 D7 G Em
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
Coda:
Am7 D7 Dm6 E7

That night in Berkeley Square.
