A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square

(Eb)When true lovers (Fm7)meet in Mayfair,

(Eb)so the (Bb7)legends (Eb)tell, (Fm7)(Bb9)songbirds (Eb)sing,

(Ab6)winter (Bb7)turns to (Eb)spring, ev'ry winding (Fm7)street in Mayfair (Eb)falls (Dm7)beneath (G7)the (Cm)spell.

(C#dim7)I (Bb)know such (Gm7)enchantment can (Cm7)be,

'cause it happened one (F9)evening to (Bb7)me.

That (Eb)certain (Cm)night, the (Gm)night we (Eb7)met,

there was (Ab)magic (G7)abroad in the (Cm)air.

(Abm6)There were (Eb)angels (Bb7)dining (Eb7)at the (Fm7)Ritz,

and a (Eb)nightingale (Cm)sang in (Fm7)(Bb7)*Berk'ley

(Eb)Square. (Fm7)(Bb7)I (Eb)may be (Cm)right, I (Gm)may be (Eb7)wrong,

but I'm (Ab)perfectly (G7)willing to (Cm)swear (Abm6)that (Eb)when you (Bb7)turned and (Abm6)smiled at me a a (Eb)nightingale (Cm)sang in (Fm7)(Bb7)Berk'ley

(Eb)Square.

(G)The moon that (Em7)lingered over (Am7)London town,

(D7)poor (Bm7)puzzled (Bbdim7)moon, he (Am7)wore a (D7)frown.

(G)How could he (Em7)know we two were (Am7)so in love?

(D7)The (Bm7)whole darn (Edim)world seemed (Fm7)upside (Bb7)down.

The (Eb)streets of (Cm)town were (Gm)paved with (Eb7)stars;

it was (Ab)such a (G7)romantic (Cm)affair.

(Abm6)And (Eb)as we (Bb7)kissed and (Eb7)said (Fm7)"goodnight,"

a (Eb)nightingale (Cm)sang in (Fm7)(Bb7)Berk'ley

(Eb)Square. (Fm7)(Bb7)How (Eb)strange it (Cm)was, how (Gm)sweet and (Eb7)strange.

There was (Ab)never a (G7)dream to (Cm)compare (Abm6)with that (Eb)hazy,

(Bb7)crazy (Eb7)night we (Fm7)met, when a (Eb)nightingale (Cm)sang in (Fm7)(Bb7)Berk'ley

(Eb)Square. (Fm7)(Bb7)This (Eb)heart of (Cm)mine beat (Gm)loud and (Eb7)fast like a (Ab)(G7)merrygoround in a (Cm)fair,

(Abm6)for (Eb)we were (Bb7)dancing (Abm6)cheek to cheek and a (Eb)nightingale (Cm)sang in (Fm7)(Bb7)Berk'ley

(Eb)Square.

(G)When dawn came (Em7)stealing up all (Am7)gold and (D7)blue to (Bm7)(Bbdim7)interrupt our (Am7)(D7)rendezvous,

(G)I still (Em7)remember how you (Am7)smiled and (D7)said,

"Was (Bm7)that a (Edim)dream or (Fm7)was it (Bb7)true?"

Our (Eb)homeward (Cm)step was (Gm)just as (Eb7)light as the (Ab)tapdancing (G7)feet of (Cm)Astaire.

(Abm6)And (Eb)like an (Bb7)echo (Eb7)far (Fm7)away,

a (Eb)nightingale (Cm)sang in (Fm7)(Bb7)Berk'ley

(Eb)Square. (Fm7)(Bb7)How (Eb)Square.

(Fm7)I know 'cause (Bb7)I was (Bbm6)there (Fm7)that night in (Ab)(Bb7)Berk'ley (Eb)Square.
