[Verse]

D
When they begin the beguine it brings back
                      Em7 A7
The sound of music so tender

It brings back a night of tropical
G        Em                A           D
Splendour it brings back a memory ever green


[Verse 2]

D
I'm with you once more under the stars
                                    Em7   A7
And down by the shore an orchestras playing
                              G   Em
And even the palms seem to be swaying
A                   D
When they begin the beguine


[Bridge]

Dm              G               C
To live it again is past all endeavour
  Cm                 F            Bb
Except when that tune clutches my heart
Bdim                                 A   Bb             A   Bb         A
And there we are swearing to love forever and promising never never to part


[Verse 3]

     D
What moments divine what rapture serene
                        D#dim                         Em7   A7
To clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
    Gm                                               Em7b5
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
  A                           D
I know but too well what they mean


[Verse 4]

         D
So don’t let them begin the beguine let the love
                               A
That was once a fire remain an ember
       G                   Em              F#m   B7
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
Em7             A     D
When they begin the beguine


[Verse 5]

       D
Oh yes let them begin the beguine make them play
                                             A
Till the stars that were there before return above you
         G                  Em             F#m     B7
Till you whisper to me once more darling I love you
       Em                 A               Em  A                 D
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in when they begin the beguine
