Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]When they
begin the [Am]beguine
[Dm]It bring[C]s back the sound[Am]
[C]of music so ten[Dm]der
It brings back a night
of tropical [Em]splendor
[Dm]It b[G]rings back a[Dm] memory evergreen
[C][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Am]I'm [C]with[Am] you[C]
once more under the stars
And down by the shore,
an orches[Dm]tra's playing
And even [Am]the palms[Dm]
seem to be swaying
When they be[G]gin the beguine
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]To [Dm]live it[Cm] again[Eb]
[F]is past all[Bb] endeavor
Ex[Bbm]cept when that tune c[Eb]lutches
[Ab]my h[Cm]eart[Ab][Cm]
And [F#dim]there we are[Ebdim] swearing
to love [G]forever[Ab]
And prom[G]ising never[Fm],
never to [G]part[Cm][G]

[Verse 4]
A mo[C]ments [Am]divine [C]what
rapture [F]se [C]rene[Am]
[C]To clouds came along to disperse
the [Dm]joys we had tasted
[Em]And [Dm]now when I hear p[Ddim]eople curse the
[Bb]chance that was [Ddim]wasted
[Fm]I kn[G]ow but too well what they me[C]an

[Verse 5]
So don't [C]let [Am]them
begin [C]the beguine
Let [Am]the [C]love that was once a f[Am]ire
Re[Dm]main an ember
Let [F]it sleep like the dead desire
[Dm]I only remem[Em]ber[Am]
[Dm]When they be[G]gin the [C]be guine
[Em]Oh y[C]es

[Verse 6]
[Db]let them begin the beguine
Make them play
'Til the stars that were there before
[Gb]Re t[Ebm]urn above you
Till you [Gb]whisper to me
Once [Gbm]more darling I[Ebdim] love you[Fm][Bbm]
And we sud[Ebm]denly know what
[Ebdim]heaven we're in
[Ebm]When they begin
[Absus4]The beguin[Db]e[Ebm]
