[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D][Ebdim][D][G][D][Ebdim]

[Verse 1]
[G]When
they begin [D]the [G]picking,[Em][D]
it [G]brings back the [E]sound
of music so [Am]tender.[D]
[Ebdim]It brings[D] ba[Am]ck the night
[C]of tropical [Am]splendor
[C]It [Bb]bring[F]s [Am]back a
[D]memory ever [G]green[D]
I'm [G]with you [D]once more under the [G]stars
[D]And dow[G]n by the shore
[E]an orc[Am]hestra's pla[D]ying
And even [Am]the palms seem
[C]to [Am]be sw[C]ayin[Bb]g
When [Am]they begin [C]the [D]begui[G]ne[Em]
[Am]To l[Gm]ive it again i[F]s[Csus4]
past all en[F]deavor
Except [Fm]when that [Bbsus4]tune
[Bb]clutches my [Eb]heart[Cm]
[Gm]An d[Cm] there [Edim]we are,
[A]swearing to love [D]forever[A][Faug][F]
[Dm]neve[D]r to p[Dm]art.[F][Faug][D]
[G]What moments [D]divine,
what rapture se[G]rene.[Em]
[Am]Till[Em] cloud[G]s came along
to [Abdim]dis perse[Fdim] the joy[Ddim]s
[Fdim]we had tas[C]ted[D]
And [Adim]now when I h[Cm]ear people curse
the [Adim]chance that was
[Ebdim]wasted[Baug][Cm][Eb]
I [D]know but too well what they [Em]mean[C]
[Am]So don't let t[G]hem begi[Em]n
the be[G]guine[Em]
Let [D]the [G]love that was once
a fire remain [D]an ember
Let it [C]sleep like the dead [Cm]decide,
[Adim]I only r[Cm]emem[Ebdim] ber[D][Bm][E]
Oh, [Am]when they begin [D]the [G]be [D]guine
Oh, yes, [G]let them begin the big
[Em]gie master p[D]lan.[G][Em]
[G]Till the stars that were there
before
[Em]reach high above[A] you.[D]
Till you [C]whisper once [Cm]more,
darling, I [Bm]love you.
[D]Oh, [E]and we sudden[Am]ly kno[C]w
[Cm]what [Am]heaven we're [Cm]in[Adim]
When [Am]they begin [D]the be[G]guine[D][Em][G][Em][D][Em][C][D]
[G][Abdim][E][Em][Am][C][D][Am][C][Am][D][Am][C][Am]
[D][Bb][F][Dm][Am][D][G][D][G][D][Em]
[G][C][D][G][D][E][Am][D][C][D][Em][Am][C][Am]
[A][C][Am][A][Am][D][G][Em]
To [Gm]live it again [Csus4]is[F]
[Csus4]past all endeav[F]or
Except [Fm]when that [Bbsus4]tune
clutches [Eb]my heart
[Cm]And [Edim]here we are,
[C#dim]swear ing to love for[D]ever,[Eb]
[D]promising never, never,
never [Cm]to p[Eb]art.[D]
[G]What moments [Em]divine,
what raptures se[G]rene,[Em]
Until [G]clouds came along
to dis[Abdim]perse the[Fdim] joys
we [Am]had t[D]asted
And [Adim]now when I h[Cm]ear people[Adim] curse
[Cm]the chan[Adim]ce that was w[Cm]asted
[Eb]I kn[D]ow but too well what they me[G]an[Em]
[C]So [D]don't let[G] them be[Em]
gin [G]the [Em]beguine
Let [D]the [G]love that was once a
[Em]fire remain [D]an amber
Let it [C]sleep like [Em]the dead dozile,
[Cm]I only remember[D]
[Bm]when [Fdim]they begin th[C]e begu[D]ine.[G][D]
Oh yes, [G]make them begin the beguine,
[Em]make [G]them play.
[Em]Till the [G]stars that were there
be[Em]fore return [D]above [D]you
Till you [C]whisper once more,
[Cm]darling I love you[D][Fdim]
And we sud[Am]denly [C]know
[Cm]what heav[Am]en we're in[C]
[F]When [Am]they begi[D]n, the beguine,
[Em]the [D]beguine, t[G]he beg[Ebdim]uine.[D]
