Begin The Beguine Chords & Lyrics - Frank Sinatra

Introd: [A] [A6] [A7M] [A6] [A] [A6] [A7M] [A6]

[A]When they be[A6]gin [A7M] [A6] the beg[A]uine,[A6] [A7M] [A6]
It bri[A]ngs back the so[A6]und [A7M] of [A6]music so te[E7]nder,
It br[Bm]ings back a n[Bm7]ight of t[Bm]ropical spl[Bm7]endor,
Bm5-/7 [E7] [E7sus4] [E7] [A9] [A]
It brings back a memory ever green.
[A]I'm with you once m[A6]ore [A7M] [A6]under the st[A]ars, [A6] [A7M] [A6]
And d[A]own by the s[A7M]hore, [F#m7] an orchestra's [E7]playing;
[E7] Bm5-/7 [E7] [D] [E7] [E7sus4] [E7] [A] [A6] [A7M] [A6]
And even the palms seem to be swaying. When they begin the beguine.
[BRIDGE]
To l[Am]ive it again [D7] is past all end[G]eavor. Except when t[Gm]hat tune clutch[C7]es my heart, [F7M] [F]
And [Cdim]there we are,[Dm] swearing to love for[E]ever, [F]and promising never, never to p[E]art.[Dm7] [E] [E7]
What moments divi[A]ne, [A6] [A7M] what ra[A6]pture ser[A]ene, [A6] [A7M] [A6]
Til cl[A]ouds came along to disp[A7]erse the joy we had t[E7]asted;
Dm Bm5-/7
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
[E7] Bm5-/7 [E7] [A9] [A] [E7] [A6] [A7M] [A6]
I know but too well what they mean. So don't let them begin the beguine,
[E7]Let the lo[A]ve that was once a [A6]fire remain an [E7]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]Oh, yes, l[A]et them begin the beg[A6]uine, make them pl[A]ay, [A7M] [A6]
[E7]Til the s[A]tars that were there be[A6]fore re[A7M]turn ab[E7]ove 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
When they beg[E7]in the beg[A]uine.[Am7] When they begi[Bm7]n the begui[Dm6]ne. [E7] [A] [A6] [A7M] [A6] [A]
