That certain night, the night we 
met,
           G        F#7         
There was magic abroad in the 
Bm    Gm
air.
           D       D7     Gm 
There were angels dining at the 
    Gm7
Ritz,
       D           Bm   
And a nightingale sang in 
   Em       A7    D

Em    A7


  D      Bm      F#m      D7
I may be right, I may be wrong,
        G         F#7         Bm 
But I'm perfectly willing to 
    Gm
swear
      D         D7        Gm      
That when you turned and smiled at
 Gm7
 me,

F#              D#m          
The moon that lingered over 
G#m7     C#7
London town
A#m7               G#m7       C#7
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
F#           D#m               
How could we know we two were 
G#m7   C#7
so in    love?

    A#m7               Em          
The whole darn world seemed upside 
A7
down.

     D         Bm        F#m     
The streets of town were paved 
    D7
with stars,
       G         F#7       Bm     Gm
It was such a romantic affair.
    D       D7       Gm       Gm7
And as we kissed and said goodnight,

A7    D           Cm    D7
Berke|---ley    Square.

   D#        Cm       Gm      
How strange it was, how sweet and 
D#7
strange
 G#           G7       Cm        G#m
There was never a dream to compare
 D#            D#7    G#m      G#m7
To those hazy, crazy, night we met
   D#         Cm      Fm       
When a nightingale sang in 
A#7    D#
Berkeley Square

     D#      Cm       Gm      
This heart of mine beat loud and 
D#7
fast
      G#           G7       Cm   
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
     G#m

D#            D#7    G#m      G#m7
For we were dancing cheek to cheek
       D#         Cm    
And a nightingale sang in

Ber----keley Square

G             Em              
When dawn came stealing up, 
Am7     D7
all gold and blue
Bm7          Am7       D7
To interrupt our rendezvous,
G           Em          Am7      
I still remember how you smiled and 
 D7
said,
Bm7                  Fm     A#7
"Was that a dream? Or was it true?"

       D#        Cm       Gm 
Our   homeward step was just as 
     D#7
light
       G#      G7       Cm        
As the dancing feet of Astaire,
G#m

    D#            D#7    G#m
And like an echo  far    away
     D#         Cm      Fm       A#7
