A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

Maschwitz and Sherwin

4:4 Key:C

That [C]certain [Am]night, the [Em]night we [C7]met
There was [F]magic a [E7]broad in the [Am^]air [Fm6^]
[Am^]There were [G]angels [F]dining [C]at the [Fm6]Ritz
And a [C]nightingale [Am]sang in [F]Berke[G7]ley [C]Square

[C] [Am] [F] [G7]

I [C]may be [Am]right, I [Em]may be [C7]wrong
But I'm [F]perfectly [E7]willing to [Am^]swear [Fm6^]
[Am^]That [G]when you [F]turned and [C]smiled at [Fm6]me
And a [C]nightingale [Am]sang in [F]Berke[G7]ley [C]Square

The [C#m7]moon that lingered over [F#m]London [B7]town
[Abm7]Poor puzzled [F#m7]moon, he [F#m]wore a [B7]frown
How [C#m7]could he know we two were [F#m]so in [B7]love
[Abm7]The whole darned [C]world seemed [Dm]upside [G7]down

[C]The streets of [Am]town were [Em]paved with [C7]stars
It was [F]such a [E7]romantic [Am^]affair [Fm6^]
[Am^]And [G]as we [F]kissed and [C]said good[Fm6]night
A [C]nightingale [Am]sang in [F]Berke[G7]ley [C]Square

When [C#m7]dawn came stealing up,and [F#m]gold, and [B7]blue,
[Abm7]To inter[F#m7]upt our [F#m]rendez[B7]vous
I still [C#m7]remember how you [F#m]smiled and [B7]said
[Abm7]Was that a [C]dream or [Dm]was it [G7]true?

My [C]homeward [Am]steps were [Em]just as [C7]light
As the [F]tap dancing [E7]feet of A[Am^]staire [Fm6^]
[Am^]And [G]like an [F]echo, [C]far [Fm6]away
A [C]nightingale [Am]sang in [F]Berke[G7]ley [C]Square [Dm7]

I [G7]know 'cause I was [Em7]there [Dm7]
That [G7]night in Berkeley [C]Square.
