Verse
[A] [A6] [Amaj7] [A6]
When they begin the beguine
[A] [A6] [E7]
It brings back the sound of music so tender
[D] [Bm]
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
[E] [E7] [A] [A6]
It brings back a memory evergreen
Verse
[A] [A6] [Amaj7] [A6]
I'm with you once more under the stars
[A] [A6] [E7]
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
[D] [Bm]
And even the palms seem to be swaying
[E] [E7] [A] [A6]
When they begin the beguine
Bridge
[Am] [D] [G]
To live it again is past all endeavor
[Gm] [C] [F]
Except when that tune clutches my heart
[Cdim] [E] [F]
And there we are swearing to love forever
[E] [Dm] [E] [E7]
And promising never, never to part
Verse
[A] [A6] [Amaj7] [A6]
What moments divine, what rapture serene
[A] [A6] [E7]
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
[Dm] [Bm]
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
[E7] [A] [A6]
I know but too well what they mean
Verse
[A] [A6] [Amaj7] [A6]
So don't let them begin the beguine
[A] [A6] [E7]
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
[D] [Dm] [C#m] [F#]
Let it sleep like a dead desire I only remember
[Bm] [E7] [A] [A6]
When they begin the beguine
Verse
[A] [A6] [Amaj7] [A6]
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
[A] [A6] [E7]
Till the stars that were there before return above you
[D] [Dm] [C#m] [D#m]
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
[Bm] [Dm]
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
[E7] [A] [A6]
When they begin the beguine
[Bm] [Dm] [E7] [A] [A6] [Amaj7] [A6] [A]
When they begin, the beguine
