Nat King Cole - A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square

      
 
       G       Em         Bm      G7  
 That certain night, the night we met,
 
            C      B7           Em B+ 
 There was magic abroad in the air;
 
            G       D7    G7      Cm 
 There were angels dining at the Ritz
 
        G           Em     Am7  D7    G    Em Am7 D7 
 And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
 
 I may be right, I may be wrong,
 But I'm perfectly willing to swear
 That when you turned and smiled at me
 
    G            Em    Am7   D7   G    Em Em6 F#7 
 A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
 
 
 Bridge 1:
 
         B7                     C#m7-5  F#7 
 The moon that lingered over London town --
 
          Bm      Gdim     C#m7-5  F#7 
 Poor, puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
 
   B7                          C#m7-5 F#7 
 How could he know we two were  so in love
 
       Bm       Gdim         Am7     D   
 The whole darn world seemed upside down.
 
 The streets of town were paved with stars,
 It was such a romantic affair.
 And as we kissed and said "Good-bye,"
 A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
 
 How strange it was, how sweet and strange;
 There was never a dream to compare
 With that hazy, crazy night we met
 When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
 
 This heart of mine beat loud and fast,
 Like a merry go round at the fair;
 For we were dancing cheek to cheek
 And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Squre.
 
 Bridge 2:
 
 When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue
 To interrupt our rendezvous,
 I still remember how you smiled and said,
 "Was that a dream or was it true?"
 
 Our homeward step was just as light
 As the tap-dancing feet of Astaire,
 And like an echo, far away,
    G           Em      Am7 D7    G    Em 
 A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

 I know 'cause I was there
 
 C      C/B     Cm   D7    G    Em Cm Cm7-5 G 
  That night in Berkeley Square.
