Intro: A A6 A7M A6 A A6 A7M A6 

A           A6    A7M   A6         A    A6  A7M A6 
When they begin             the beguine 
      A              A6   A7M   A6         E7 
It brings back the sound     of music so tender 
     Bm           Bm7      Bm         Bm7 
It brings back a night of tropical splendor 
     Bm5-/7        E7    E4/7  E7      A9    A 
It brings back a memory       ever green 
A                  A6  A7M  A6          A    A6    A7M A6 
I'm with you once more      under the stars 
     A           A7M   F#m7             E7 
And down by the shore,   an orchestra's playing 
            E7     Bm5-/7  E7        D                      
And even the palms      seem to be swaying 
E7       E4/7      E7      A     A6   A7M A6 
When they begin   the beguine 

Bridge 
    Am           D7                G                    
To live it again    is past all endeavor 
 Gm             C7               F7M    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  A7M  A6       A    A6  A7M A6 
What moments divine,   what rapture serene 
      A                      A7                   E7 
Til clouds came along to disperse the joy we had tasted 
     Dm                                               Bm5-/7 
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, 
                E7  Bm5-/7  E7           A9    A      
I know but too well          what they mean 
    E7        A6             A7M        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#m5-/7  F#m 
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember 
Bm5-/7        E7 Bm5-/7  E7       A    A6 
When they begin          the beguine 
E7        A                    A6                A     A7M  A6 
Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play 
E7        A                      A6     A7M    E7 
Til  the stars that were there before return above you 
         D                 Bm7    C#m5-/7          F#7 
Til you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you" 
        Bm7                     Bm5-/7 
And we suddenly know      what heaven we're in 
             E7        A    Am7        
When they begin the beguine 
     Bm7         Dm6  E7  A    A6 A7M A6 A 
When they begin  the beguine
