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(b5)             E7       E7(4)               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(b5)       E7               D 
And even the palms                 seem to be swaying
 E7             E7(4)             E7               A         A6     Am7     A6 
When they begin               the beguine.
         Am                     D7                               G 
To live it again       is past all endeavor
       Gm                         C7                             Fm7       F 
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
         CÂș                     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(b5) 
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
                                 E7     Bm7(b5)         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(b5)  F#m 
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only re - mem - ber
 Bm7(b5)             E7       Bm7(b5)           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(b5)                 F#7 
Til you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you."
                 Bm7                                         Bm7(b5) 
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.
