[INTRO ]
Cmaj7           Am7              Dm     G7      Cmaj7
When two lovers meet in Mayfair, so the legends tell.
Dm         G7    Dm     G7       Cmaj7
Song birds sing; Winter turns to Spring.
Cmaj7         Am7               Dm      G7        Cmaj7
Every winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell.
  D                           F#dim     D                       D7
I know such enchantment could be for it happened one evening to me.


[VERSE 1]
     Cmaj7   C          Em       C7             Fmaj7  Bbdim        C     Bb11
That certain night, The night we met, There was magic abroad in the air.
           Cmaj7  Gdim  Bbmaj7 Fm6  C9 C   Fm9   Fm7       
There were an  -  gels  di  -  ning at the Ritz  
      Cmaj7       Am7     Fmaj9   Bdim7  C       Fmaj7 Adim   Gaug
And a nightingale sang in Berke - ley    Square
  Cmaj7  C        Em     C7             Fmaj7     Bbdim      C     Bb11
I may be right, I may be wrong, But I'm perfectly willing to swear
     Cmaj7 Gdim Bbmaj7 Fm6 C9     C  Fm9 Fm7 Cmaj7       Am7     Fmaj9   Bdim7 C    Fma7
That when  you  turned and smiled at me, A   nightingale sang in Berke - ley   Square.


[CHORUS 1]
B7                          Cmaj7  E7        F#dim   Eb       F#m7   B7
The moon that lingered over London town Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
B7                            Cmaj7 E7       Edim       Ddim         Adim   Gaug
How could he know we two were so in love The whole darn world seemed upside down.


[VERSE 2]
    Cmaj7      C         Em         C7           Fmaj7    Bbdim    C     Bb11
The streets of town were paved with stars It was such a romantic affair
    Cmaj7 Gdim Bbmaj7 Fm6 C9    C    Fm9    Fm7 Cmaj7       Am7     Fmaj9   Bdim7 C    Fma7
And as    we   kissed and said "good-night" A   nightingale sang in Berke - ley   Square


[CHORUS 2]
B7                             Cmaj7    E7       F#dim Eb      F#m7  B7
When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue, To interrupt our rendezvous.
B7                       Cmaj7      E7         Edim   Ddim     Adim   Gaug
I still remember how you smiled and said, "Was that a dream or was it true?"


[VERSE 3]
    Cmaj7    C        Em      C7           Fmaj7      Bbdim    C     Bb11
Our homeward step was just as light As the dancing of Fre-ed Astaire
    Cmaj7 Gdim Bbmaj7 Fm6 C9  C   Fm9  Fm7 Cmaj7       Am7     Fmaj9   Bdim7
And like  an   e   -  cho far a - way, A   nightingale sang in Berke - ley . . .
  Cmaj7       Am7     Fmaj9   Bdim7       Cmaj7       F    Bdim Bb11  Ddim C
A nightingale sang in Berke - ley . . . A nightingale sang in   Berke-ley  Square .
