A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

Written by Eric Maschwitz/Manning Sherwin

	  		


Intro: 
C          Am     Em              C7  F       E7     Am  
When true lovers meet in Mayfair,     so the legends tell, 
 C         Am    Em               C7     Dm7 
Song birds sing, winter turns to spring. 
 C     Am      Em        C7      F      E7        Am      Fm7 
Every winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell, 
  C     Am         Em       C7  Dm7   C       Am       Dm    G7       C         
I know such enchantment can be,     cause it happened one evening to me. 


      C       Am           Em      C7               F       E7          Am    Fm7 
That certain night,   the night we met,   there was magic abroad in the air. 
            C      Am    Em     C7   Dm7        C          Am      Dm   G7   C       Am   Dm  G7 
There were angels dining at the Ritz,    and a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. 


C        Am       Em      C7            F          E7         Am     Fm7 
I may be right, I may be wrong, but I m perfectly willing to swear, 
     C         Am         Em       C7  Dm7     C           Am     Dm   G7   C         
That when you turned and smiled at me,      a nightingale sang in Berkeley  Square.

F B7 G#m7 A# B7 The moon that lingered over London town, poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown, E E7 B7 Bm7 A Am Dm7 G7 How could he know we two were so in love, the whole darn world seemed upside down.

C Em C7 F Fm Am Fm7 The streets of town were paved with stars, it was such a romantic affair, C Gm C7 Dm7 C Am Dm G7 C And as we kissed and said goodnight, a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. Musical Interlude: (Chords of above verse) C Em C7 F Fm Am Fm7 Our homeward step was just as light, as the tap dancing feet of Astaire, C Gm C7 Dm7 C Am Dm G7 C And like an echo, far away, a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. C Gm C7 Dm7 C Am Dm G7 Gm I know cause I was there; that night in Berkeley Square. (Slowing)
