[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
When [C]they [G]be
[C]gin [G]the beguine
It brings back the sound
of [C]music [Am]so te[D]nder,
It brings back a night of
tropical [C]splendor,[Am]
It [D]brings back a [Ab]memory ever
[Cm]gree[Bm]n.[G][D][G]

[Verse 2]
I'm [G]with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore an
orches[Am]tra's [D]playing
And even the [Bm]palms [D]seem
to be [C]sway[Am]ing
[D]When they [Eb]begin [D]the
beguine.
[G][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[G]
To live it [Gm]again[C]
is past all [F]endeavor,
Ex[Fm]cept when that [Bb]tune
clutches [Eb]my he[Cm]art,
And [C]there we [Edim]are,
swearing to love [D]forever[Bm],[Eb]
And [Bm]promising never,
[Cm]never to part.
[D]

[Verse 4]
What mo[G]ments [D]di vine,
[C]wha[G]t raptur[Bm]e serene[G],
Till clouds came [D]along [Bm]to dis
[E]perse the joys we had [Am]tasted,
[C]And now when I [Cm]hear people [Adim]curse
the chance that was wasted,
[Cm]I know but too[Am] wel[C]l[Eb]
[Cm]what they [G]mean;
So [C]don't

[Verse 5]
[G]let them be[C]gin
[Em]the be g[G]uine[Em]
Let [G]the love that was [Em]once a
fire [G]remain [D]an ember;
Let [C]it sleep like the dead desire [G]I
[C]only [Bm]re me[G]mb[Bm]er[Bdim][E]
When [Am]they be[C]gin [D]the[Bm] begu[D]ine.[G]

[Verse 6]
[G][D]
[C]Oh yes, [G]let them begin the beguine,
[Em]make them [G]play[Em]
Till [G]the stars that were there be
[Ab]fore [G]re [C]tur[D]n above you,
Till you [C]whisper to me once more,
[Bm]"Darling, I [Bdim]love you[E]!"
And we [C]suddenly know,
[D]wha[C]t h[D]eav[C]en we're in,[Cm]
[C]When they [Am]be g[C]in t[Eb]he[Bm][G][Em][G][C]
[G]be [D]gui[Am]ne[C][D][G]
[C][G]
