         G7M       Em7        Bm7          G7 
How strange it was, how sweet and strange  
           C7M/9              B7               Em B7 
There was never a dream to compare 
         G7M       D7     G7          Cm6 
With that hazy, crazy night we met  
          G7M         Em          Am7   D7       G   Em Am7 D7 
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square 
        G7M     Em7         Bm         G7 
This heart of mine beat loud and fast 
           C7M/9      B7              Em  B7 
Like a merry go round at the fair  
       G          D7          G7         Cm6 
For we were dancing cheek to cheek  
    G            Em     Am7             D7   G      C#m5-/7 F#7  
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square 
B7M/9                   Cdim               C#m5-/7  F#7 
When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue 
     Bm      Gdim     C#m5-/7  F#7  
To interrupt our rendezvous 
   B7M/9        Cdim            C#m5-/7  F#7 
I still remember how you smiled and said 
         Bm7  E7         Am7     D7 
Was that a dream or was it true 
       G7M     Em7           Bm7      G7 
Our homeward step was just as light  
            C7M           B7           Em  B7 
As the tap-dancing feet of Astaire 
         G7M    D7   G7  Cm6 
And like an echo, far away  
   G7M       Em7        Am7   D7      G7M C#m5-/7 F#7   
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square 
 B7M/9                   Cdim               C#m5-/7  F#7 
When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue 
     Bm      Gdim     C#m5-/7  F#7  
To interrupt our rendezvous 
   B7M/9        Cdim            C#m5-/7  F#7 
I still remember how you smiled and said 
         Bm7  E7         Am7     D7 
Was that a dream or was it true 
         G7M       Em7        Bm7          G7 
The streets of town were paved with stars 
           C7M/9     B7        Em B7 
It was such a romantic affair 
              G7M       D7     G7          Cm6 
And as we kissed and said 'Good-night'  
    G7M       Em7        Am7   D7      G7M Em7  
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square 
           Am7      D7     Dm6 E7 
I know 'cause I was there 
C       C/B     Cm   D7     G     Em Cm Cm5-/7 G 
That night in Berkeley Square
