The Brian Setzer Orchestra — A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
Intro: D Bm F#m D7 G F#7 Bm Gm D D7 --- Gm
DBmF#mD7
That certain night, the night we met,
GF#7BmGm
There was magic abroad in the air.
DD7GmGm7
There were angels dining at the Ritz,
DBmEmA7DA7
And a nightingale sang in Berke---ley Square.
DBmF#mD7
I may be right, I may be wrong,
GF#7BmGm
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
DD7GmGm7
That when you turned and smiled at me,
DBmEmA7DC#7
A. nightingale sang in Berke---ley Square.
F#D#mG#m7C#7
The moon that lingered over London town
A#m7G#m7C#7
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
F#D#mG#m7C#7
How could we know we two were so in love?
A#m7EmA7
The whole darn world seemed upside down.
DBmF#mD7
The streets of town were paved with stars,
GF#7BmGm
It was such a romantic affair.
DD7GmGm7
And as we kissed and said goodnight,
DBmEmA7DD7
A. nightingale sang in Berke---ley Square.
D#CmGmD#7
How strange it was, how sweet and strange
G#G7CmG#m
There was never a dream to compare
D#D#7G#mG#m7
To those hazy, crazy, night we met
D#CmFmA#7D#
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
D#CmGmD#7
This heart of mine beat loud and fast
G#G7CmG#m
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
D#D#7G#mG#m7
For we were dancing cheek to cheek
D#CmFmA#7D#
And a nightingale sang in Ber----keley Square
GEmAm7D7
When dawn came stealing up, all gold and blue
Bm7Am7D7
To interrupt our rendezvous,
GEmAm7D7
I still remember how you smiled and said,
Bm7FmA#7
"Was that a dream? Or was it true?"
D#CmGmD#7
Our homeward step was just as light
G#G7CmG#m
As the dancing feet of Astaire,
D#D#7G#m
And like an echo far away
D#CmFmA#7
A. nightingale sang in Berke---ley
D#D#7A#7
A. nightingale sang in Ber---keley
GCCD#7
That night in Ber---keley Squa-----re
