[Ab] That certain night, [Cm] the night [Ab] we met, there was magic [Gm] abroad [Fm] in the [Gb] air.
[Ab] There were [Bbm] angels dining [Ab] at the [Db] Ritz,
[Cm] and a [Ab] nightingale sang [Bbm] in
[Eb] Berkeley [Ab] Square.
[Fm] [Bbm] I
[Am] [Ab] may be right, [Eb] I may be [Ab] wrong, [Dbm] but I'm perfectly willing [Fm] to swear
[Gb] when [Cm]
you [Db] turned and smiled at [Gb] me, a [Fm] nightingale sang [Bbm]
in [Eb] Berkeley
[Dbm] [Ab] Square.
The [D]
[Abm] [C]
moon [Am] that lingered [Dm] over London [Em] town wore a puzzle [B]
moon, [Dm] he wore a [Em] problem.
[C] How [Am] could he know we two [Dm] were so in [Em] love?
The whole darn [Ebm] world [Bbm] seemed upside [Cm]
down.
[Ab] The streets of town [Cm] were paved [Ab] with [A] stars, [Db] it was such [G] a romantic [Fm] affair.
[Gb] [Cm] As we [Bbm]
kissed [Ab] and said [Fm]
[Gb] goodnight, [Cm]
a nightingale [Bbm]
sang in [Eb] Berkeley
[Ab] Square.
[Fm] When [D]
[G] [Abm] [C]
[Am] dawn came stealing [D] up all [G] golden blue [Em]
to [Eb] interrupt
[Dm] our [G] rendezvous,
[C] I [Am] still remember how [Dm] you smiled [G] and said,
[Em] Was that a [Eb] dream, [Bbm] or was it [Cm] true?
[C]
Our [Fm] homeward step [Cm] was just [Ab] as light
[Db] as the tap-dancing [C] feet [Fm] of a step.
[Gb]
[Cm] Then we [Bbm] can echo [Ab] far
[Db] away, [C] a [Fm] nightingale sang [Bbm]
[Ebm] in [Db] Berkeley
[Ab] Square.
[Fm]
[Bbm] I [Eb] know, cause I [C] was there [F]
[Bbm] that night in Berkeley.
