Begin The Beguine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Fm][C][Fm][Db][C]

[Verse 1]
When they
begin the [Fm]beguine[Db]
[Fm]It b[C]rings back the sound
of music [G]so tender
It brings back a night of
tropical [Dm]splendor[G]
It brings back a memory [C]ever green

[Verse 2]
[C][Fm]
[C]I'm with you once [G]more[C]
under [Db]the stars[G][B][C]
And down by the shore an orches
[G]tra's [Faug]playing[Dm]
[G]And even the palms seem to
be [F]swaying[Dm][G]
When they begin the [C]be guine
[Fm]

[Verse 3]
[C][Fm]
To [Cm]live it [C]again is [F]past all en[Bb]deavor
[Bbm]Except when that tune
[Eb]clutches my [Ab]heart[Fm]
[Ab]And ther[Adim]e we are,
[F#dim]swearing to love [G]forever
[Ab]And promising neve[G]r,
[Ab]never to [G]part
[C][Fm][C]

[Verse 4]
[Fm]
[C]What moments divine,
what rapture [Fm]serene
[Db]Till cloud[C]s came along to dis
[G]perse the joys we had tasted
And [Fm]now when I hear people curse the
chance that was [Db]wasted
[Ddim]I know b[Dm]ut too well what they [C]mean

[Verse 5]
So don't [C]let them begin the beguine
Let the love that was once
a fire re[F#dim]main an embe[G]r
Let it [F]sleep like the dead de[F#dim]sire
[Ebdim]I only reme[Em]mber[A]
[Dm]When they be[G]gin the be[C]guine
[Dm]Oh y[G]es,

[Verse 6]
[C]let them begin the beguine,
please make them play
Till the stars that were there
[F]before return [G]above you
Till you [Dm]whisper to me once more,
"Darling, I [Em]love [A]you"
Then we [Dm]suddenly [G]know what
[Dm]heaven we're [G]in
[Dm]When [G]they begin the, begin the,
begin the [C]be [C]guine[Fm]
When they begin the, begin the,
begin the beguine
When they begin [C]the beguine
