Begin The Beguine

[Intro: ] 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.

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.
