[Verse 1]
[G]Whe[Em]n the[G]y[D][Em][G]
[D]be gin [C]the [D]begin[G],
[Em]it b[G]rings back the s[D]ound
[G]of [D]music [Am]so tender.[D]
It brings back a night of
tropical [C]splendor.
[Am]It b[D]rings back a memory ever g[G]reen
[D]I'm [G]with you once more
under [Em]the stars
[G]And down by the [D]shore
an orchestra's playing
[Am]An d[D] even the palms
seem to be [C]swaying
[D]When they begin the [G]beginning,
to live it again [D]is [C]past all en[F]deavor,
[Dm]
[F]except whe[Fm]n a tune clu[F]tches my [D]hea[Eb]rt.
And [Em]there we [C]are,
swearing to [D]love forever
[Eb]And promising [D]never, n[Cm]ever t[D]o part
What mo[G]ments divine,
[D]wha[G]t raptures serene
[Em]Till [G]clouds came along
[D]to dis[G]perse the [D]joys we had tasted
And [Cm]now when I hear people curse
the chance that was wasted
I [D]know but too well what they [G]mean.
[D]So don't [G]let them begin the begin,
let the love that was once a fire
[Em]re main an[Am] ember.
[D]Let it [C]sleep like the dead desire
[Am]I only remem[Bm]ber
[Em]When they [Am]begi[D]n the begu[G]ine
Oh [D]yes, [G]let them begin the beguine,
they complain
Till [D]the [G]stars that were there
be[C]fore re[D]turn above you
Till you [C]whisper to me once [Am]more,
darling, I [Bm]love you.
[E]Then we sud[D]denly know,
what heaven we're in.
When they begin, the [G]begin.
[D]When they begin, when they begin.
[Am]When [D]they begin, the begin, the beg[G]in!
