Begin The Beguine

A           A6    AM7   A6      
When they begin             the 
   A    A6  AM7   A6
beguine,

      A              A6   AM7   
It brings back the sound     of 
A6         E7
music so tender,

     Bm           Bm7      Bm    
It brings back a night of 
     Bm7
tropical splendor,

     Bm7-5        E7    E7sus4   
It brings back a memory          
E7      A9    A
  ever green.


A                  A6  AM7  A6 
I'm with you once more      
         A    A6    AM7   A6
under the stars,

     A           AM7   F#m7
And down by the shore,     an 
               E7
orchestra's playing;

            E7     Bm7-5  E7     
And even the palms      seem to 
   D
be swaying

E7       E7sus4  E7        A    
When they begin     the beguine.

Bridge:

    Am           D7           
To live it again    is past all 
     G
endeavor

   Gm             C7            
Except when that tune clutches my 
   FM7    F
heart,

    Cdim         Dm               
And there we are,  swearing to 
     E     F
love forever,

                E   Dm7        E 
And promising never, never to 
   E7
part.


                 A   A6  AM7     
What moments divine,         what
   A6       A    A6  AM7   A6
 rapture serene,

      A                      A7   
Til clouds came along to disperse 
                E7
the joy we had tasted;

     Dm                            
And now when I hear people curse 
                   Bm7-5
the chance that was wasted,

                E7  Bm7-5  E7    
I know but too well          what
       A9    A
 they mean.



E7        A6             AM7    
So don't let them begin     the 
    A6
beguine,

E7         A                  A6
Let  the love that was once a 
             E7
fire remain an ember;

        D                     Bm7 
Let it sleep like the dead desire 
          C#m7-5  F#m
I only re - mem - ber

Bm7-5        E7 Bm7-5  
When they begin          the 
E7       A    A6
beguine.



E7        A                    
Oh, yes, let them begin the 
A6                A     AM7  A6
beguine, make them play,

E7        A                 
Til  the stars that were there 
     A6     AM7    E7
before return above you,

         D                 Bm7 
Til you whisper to me once more, 
   C#m7-5          F#7
"Darling, I love you."

        Bm7                   
And we suddenly know . . .what 
  Bm7-5
heaven we're in

             E7        A    Am7
When they begin the beguine,

Bm7             Dm6  E7       A 
When they begin        the 
   A6  AM7   A6   A
beguine.
