	  A           A6    Am7   A6         A    A6  Am7   A6 
When they begin             the beguine, 
 
      A              A6   Am7   A6         E7 
It brings back the sound     of music so tender, 
 
     Bm           Bm7      Bm         Bm7 
It brings back a night of tropical splendor, 
 
     Bm7/5-        E7    E7sus4   E7      A9    A 
It brings back a memory            ever green. 
 
 
A                  A6  Am7  A6          A    A6    Am7   A6 
I'm with you once more      under the stars, 
 
     A           Am7   F#m7               E7 
And down by the shore,     an orchestra's playing; 
 
            E7     Bm7/5-  E7        D 
And even the palms      seem to be swaying 
 
E7       E7sus4  E7        A     A6   Am7   A6 
When they begin     the beguine. 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
    Am           D7                G 
To live it again    is past all endeavor 
 
   Gm             C7               Fm7    F 
Except when that tune clutches my heart, 
 
    Cdim         Dm                    E     F 
And there we are,  swearing to love forever, 
 
                E   Dm7        E    E7 
And promising never, never to part. 
 
 
                 A   A6  Am7        A6       A    A6  Am7   A6 
What moments divine,         what rapture serene, 
 
      A                      A7                   E7 
Til clouds came along to disperse the joy we had tasted; 
 
     Dm                                               Bm7/5- 
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, 
 
                E7  Bm7/5-  E7           A9    A 
I know but too well          what they mean. 
 
 
 
E7        A6             Am7        A6 
So don't let them begin     the beguine, 
 
E7         A                  A6             E7 
Let  the love that was once a fire remain an ember; 
 
        D                     Bm7           C#m7/5-  F#m 
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only re - mem - ber 
 
Bm7/5-        E7 Bm7/5-  E7       A    A6 
When they begin          the beguine. 
 
 
 
E7        A                    A6                A     Am7  A6 
Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play, 
 
E7        A                      A6     Am7    E7 
Til  the stars that were there before return above you, 
 
         D                 Bm7    C#m7/5-          F#7 
Til you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you." 
 
        Bm7                     Bm7/5- 
And we suddenly know . . .what heaven we're in 
 
             E7        A    Am7 
When they begin the beguine, 
 
Bm7             Dm6  E7       A    A6  Am7   A6   A 
When they begin        the beguine.
