[G]
[C]
[Am] [C] When they begin, the begin, a sound of music [G] so tender, it brings back a night of tropical
[F] [Dm]
splendor, it [G] brings back a memory [C]
once more under the star.
[G] [Am] [C]
By the shore, an [G] orchestra's playing, and the palms seem to [F] be [Dm]
swaying.
[G] [D]
They [G] [C]
[Cm]
begin again, [F] this pastoral [Bb]
endeavor, [Bbm]
when that [Eb] tune clutches [Ab] my heart.
[Gb] And there we are, swearing to love [G] forever, [Ab] and promising [G] never, [Fm]
never [G] to part.
[C] The vast, the [G] regal [C]
clouds come along to disperse the joys [G] we had tasted.
And [D]
I [Fm] hear people curse the chance [D] that was wasted.
[F] [Ab]
[Dm] I know but too [G]
well what [C] they mean.
[F] So [C] don't let them [Am]
begin, the [C] begin.
[Am]
[C] Let the love that was once [Am] a fire remain, [G] and I'll let it [F] sleep like the dead desire
I only [Em] remember.
[Am] [Dm]
[G] The [C]
begin.
Oh yes, let them begin, [Am] the begin.
[C] Make them [Am] play.
[C] Till the stars were there before, return [G] above you.
And [F] they whisper to me once more, darling [Em]
I'm loved.
[G] [A] And [Dm] we suddenly know [C] we're [D]
in, [G]
[C]
[Am]
[G] [Dm] when they begin.
