Cole Porter - Begin the beguine

^AWhen they begi^A6n the be^Amaj7guine ^A6 It ^Abrings back the sound^A6 of music so ^E7tender It brings back a night of tropical ^Dsplendor ^Bm It^E brings back a m^E7emory eve^Argreen ^A6

I'm ^Awith you once m^A6ore under the s^Amaj7tars ^A6 And ^Adown by the sho^A6re an orchestra's ^E7playing And even the palms seem to be s^Dwaying ^Bm W^Ehen they begi^E7n the beg^Auine ^A6

To ^Amlive it aga^Din is past all en^Gdeavor E^Gmxcept when that tune^C clutches my ^Fheart And ^Cdimthere we are swearing to love for^Eever ^F And promising ^Enever,^Dm never to ^Epart ^E7

What ^Amoments divine,^A6 what rapture ser^Amaj7ene ^A6 Till ^Aclouds came along to d^A6isperse the joys we had t^E7asted And now when I hear people curse the chance that was ^Dmwasted I k^E7now but too well what they ^Amean ^A6

So don't ^Alet them begin^A6 the be^Amaj7guine ^A6 Let the ^Alove that was once a ^A6fire remain an ^E7ember Let it s^Dleep like a dead de^Bmsire I only re^C#mmember ^{F# Bm}When they beg^E7in the begu^Aine ^A6

Oh yes, ^Alet them begin the be^A6guine, make them ^Amaj7play ^A6 Till the ^Astars that were there ^A6before remain a^E7bove you Till you w^Dhisper to me once^Bm more, "Darling, I l^C#move you" And we s^Bmuddenly know what h^Dmeaven we're in ^E7When they begin the be^Aguine ^{A6 Bm}When they begin,^{Dm E7} the be^Aguine ^{A6 Amaj7 A6 A}
