Verse:
A augmentedA       A major 6A6   Amaj7Amaj7  A major 6A6
When they begin the beguine
  A augmentedA          A major 6A6      E7E7
It brings back the sound of music so tender
                  D MajorD     B minorBm
It brings back a night of tropical splendor
 E MajorE        E7E7    A augmentedA   A major 6A6
It brings back a memory evergreen

Verse:
  A augmentedA       A major 6A6       Amaj7Amaj7  A major 6A6
I'm with you once more under the stars
  A augmentedA       A major 6A6        E7E7
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
                D MajorD    B minorBm
And even the palms seem to be swaying
 E MajorE      E7E7    A augmentedA   A major 6A6
When they begin the beguine

Bridge:
  A minorAm     D MajorD        G+G
To live it again is past all endeavor
 G minorGm         C majorC      FF
Except when that tune clutches my heart
  CdimCdim               E MajorE   FF
And there we are swearing to love forever
       E MajorE   DmDm    E MajorE   E7E7
And promising never, never to part

Verse:
   A augmentedA       A major 6A6        Amaj7Amaj7  A major 6A6
What moments divine, what rapture serene
   A augmentedA           A major 6A6            E7E7
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted
                           DmDm
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted
  E7E7             A augmentedA  A major 6A6
I know but too well what they mean

Verse:
     A augmentedA       A major 6A6   Amaj7Amaj7  A major 6A6
So don't let them begin the beguine
    A augmentedA          A major 6A6       E7E7
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
    D MajorD         B minorBm      C# minorC#m   F#F#
Let it sleep like a dead desire I only remember
B minorBm      E7E7     A augmentedA   A major 6A6
When they begin the beguine

Verse:
    A augmentedA          A major 6A6        Amaj7Amaj7  A major 6A6
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play
     A augmentedA           A major 6A6       E7E7
Till the stars that were there before remain above you
     D MajorD        B minorBm         C# minorC#m
Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"
    B minorBm         DmDm
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in
E7E7          A augmentedA    A major 6A6
When they begin the beguine
B minorBm       DmDm  E7E7   A augmentedA    A major 6A6  Amaj7Amaj7  A major 6A6  A augmentedA
When they begin,    the beguine
