[Dbm]
[D] [Ab] [A]
[Ab]
When they [Fm] begin the [Eb] begin, [Ab] it brings back the sound of music [Bbm] so tender.
[Db] It brings back an article's
[Bb] splendor.
[Db] It brings [Fm] back a memory [Ab] evergreen.
[Ab] I'm [Eb] with you once [Fm] more under the [Eb]
[Fm] stars, [Eb] and down by the [Ab] shore an [Bbm] orchestra's playing.
[Db] [Cm] [Bbm] And even the palms seem to be swaying when they [Eb] begin the [Ab] begin.
[Bbm]
[Ab] To live it [Db] again is past all [Gb] endeavor,
[Gb] except [A] when that [B] tune clutches [Abm] my heart.
[E]
[Fm] And there we are swearing to love [Ab] [Bb] forever, [E]
[Eb] promising never, [E]
never to [Eb] part.
What [Ab] moments divine, what rapture serene, [Ab] till clouds came along to [F] disperse the [Bbm] joys we had tasted.
[Dbm] And now when I hear people curse the [Bb] chance that was [Bb] wasted, I [Eb] know but too well [Cm] what they [Eb] mean.
[Ab] So don't let them begin,
[Eb]
let [Bbm] it sleep like the dead desire [Cm]
in my womb.
[Db] When they [Eb] begin [Cm] the begin,
[Eb] [Ab] [Eb] oh yes let them begin the [Eb] begin.
Make them [Ab] play [Abm] till the stars that were [Ab] there before [Eb] return above you.
[Db] Till you whisper to me once more [Cm] darling I love [Eb] you, and [Db] we suddenly know [Eb] [Bb] what heaven we're [Bbm] in.
[Ab] When they begin [Eb] the begin.
[Bb] When they begin, let them begin the begin.
Let them [Eb] play, let them play, let them play the begin.
[Abm] [Eb]
