Artist/Band: Frank Sinatra Tabs
Song: Begin the Beguine Tab
A A6 AM7 A6 A A6 AM7 A6
When they begin the beguine,
A A6 AM7 A6 E7
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7
It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
Bm7-5 E7 E7sus4 E7 A9 A
It brings back a memory ever green.
A A6 AM7 A6 A A6 AM7 A6
I'm with you once more under the stars,
A AM7 F#m7 E7
And down by the shore, an orchestra's playing;
E7 Bm7-5 E7 D
And even the palms seem to be swaying
E7 E7sus4 E7 A A6 AM7 A6
When they begin the beguine.
Bridge:
Am D7 G
To live it again is past all endeavor
Gm C7 FM7 F
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
Cdim Dm E F
And there we are, swearing to love forever,
E Dm7 E E7
And promising never, never to part.
A A6 AM7 A6 A A6 AM7 A6
What moments divine, what rapture serene,
A A7 E7
Til clouds came along to disperse the joy we had tasted;
Dm Bm7-5
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
E7 Bm7-5 E7 A9 A
I know but too well what they mean.
E7 A6 AM7 A6
So don't let them begin the beguine,
E7 A A6 E7
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember;
D Bm7 C#m7-5 F#m
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only re - mem - ber
Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 E7 A A6
When they begin the beguine.
E7 A A6 A AM7 A6
Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play,
E7 A A6 AM7 E7
Til the stars that were there before return above you,
D Bm7 C#m7-5 F#7
Til you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you."
Bm7 Bm7-5
And we suddenly know . . .what heaven we're in
E7 A Am7
When they begin the beguine,
Bm7 Dm6 E7 A A6 AM7 A6 A
When they begin the beguine.
