Gm9   D7sus(b9)    Gm9    D7(#9) 



Gm   D7sus(b9)  Gm7     D7sus(b9) 
When they begin the beguine,  

   Bb(9)             Cm/Bb        D7sus        D7 
It brings back the sound of music so tender   

   Cm6                                     Bb  Am7(b5) 
It brings back the night of tropical splendour,  

   D7sus(b9)        D7         Gm       
It brings back a memory ever green. 




    Bb6          D7sus(b9)   Gm7/D      Cm7/D 
I'm with you once more under the stars,  

    Gm/D           Gm11/D           D7sus(b9)      D7 
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing 

    Cm7/D        D7(#5)         Cm7     Am7(b5)  D7sus(b9) 
And even  the palms seems to be swaying 

D7sus(b9)    D7     Gm7/D       D7sus(b9) 
When they begin the beguine. 




   Gm7         Cm9             F 
To live it again is past all endeavour 

   Fm7                Bb7      Ebmaj7        Eb6 
Except when that tune clutches my heart  

    Eb7                              D 
And there we are swearing to love forever, 

Eb            D      Cm7      D7(b5)      D7 
And promising never, never to part. 




     Gm/D         D7sus(b9)           Gm7/D      Cm/D 
What moments divine, what raptures serene,  

     Gm/D                    Bbmaj7    Bb7         Am7(b5)     D7 
'Til clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted 

    Cm6                    Cm7                      Am7(b5)    D7(b9) 
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,  

  D7sus(b9)        D7        Gm7/D 
I know but too well what they mean. 




F7/D      Bb         Cm7/Bb       Bb     Cm7/Bb 
So, don't let them begin the beguine. 

        Bb                          F7/Bb   F   Ebmaj7    D7 
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember 

       Cm                    Am7(b5)        Gm        Ebmaj7 
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember,  

Am7(b5)       Cm9    Bb     F11 
When they begin the beguine. 




F7      Bb                     Cm7/Bb          Bb      Cm7/Bb 
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play!  

         Bb                            F7/Bb  F    Ebmaj7    D7 
'Til the stars that were there before return above you 

         Cm7                Am7(b5)            Gm       Ebmaj7 
'Til you whisper to me once more, 'Darling, I love you!'  

      Ebmaj7/A    D7        Am7(b5)        
And we suddenly know, what heaven we're in.  

D7sus(b9)    D7        Gm      Cm/G 
When they begin the beguine... 

Cm6/G            Cm6 D7sus(b9) 
When they begin... 

      Gm7        D7sus(b9) 
the beguine! 

Bbmaj7    D7(#5)(b9)     Gm11
