[Verse 1]
ThaCt certaiAmn night, thEme night we Cmet,   
There was Fmagic aE7broad in the Amair.
There were aCngels dAmining Emat the RDmitz, 
And a nCightingale Amsang in DmBerkeG7ley SCquare.Am  Dm  G7  
[Verse 2]
CI may be Amright, I Emmay be wCrong, 
But I'm Fperfectly wE7illing to sAmwear,
That Cwhen you tAmurned and sEmmiled at Dmme,      
A Cnightingale Amsang in DmBerkG7eley  CSquare.
[Chorus 1]
The Fmoon that lingered over LB7ondon town, 
Poor puzzled moon, he wEore a frown,
How E7could he know we two were B7so in  love, 
The wAhole darn world seemed Dmupside dowG7n.
[Verse 3]
The sCtreets of Amtown were paEmved with staCrs, 
It was sFuch a roEmmantic afAmfair,
And Cas we kAmissed and saEmid goodnDmight,    
A CnightingalAme sang iDmn BerG7keley  CSquare.
[Chorus 2]
When Fdawn came steaming up all B7gold and blue, 
To interupt our rendEezvous
I stE7ill remember how you smB7iled and said, 
AWas that a dream or wDmas it trueG7?
[Verse 4]
Our hComeward Amstep was juEmst as liCght, 
As the tFap dancing Emfeet of AmAstaire,
And lCike an Amecho, Emfar awaDmy,      
[Outro]
A CnightingalAme sang iDmn BerG7keley 
A Cnightingale Amsang in DmBerkG7eley 
A Cnightingale Amsang in DmBerkG7eley SCquare

[Verse 1]

C Am Em C

That certain night, the night we met,

F E7 Am

There was magic abroad in the air.

C Am Em Dm

There were angels dining at the Ritz,

C Am Dm G7 C Am Dm G7

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

[Verse 2]

C Am Em C

I may be right, I may be wrong,

F E7 Am

But I'm perfectly willing to swear,

C Am Em Dm

That when you turned and smiled at me,

C Am Dm G7 C

A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

[Chorus 1]

F B7

The moon that lingered over London town,

Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown,

E7 B7

How could he know we two were so in love,

A Dm G7

The whole darn world seemed upside down.

[Verse 3]

C Am Em C

The streets of town were paved with stars,

F Em Am

It was such a romantic affair,

C Am Em Dm

And as we kissed and said goodnight,

C Am Dm G7 C

A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

[Chorus 2]

F B7

When dawn came steaming up all gold and blue,

To interupt our rendezvous

E7 B7

I still remember how you smiled and said,

A Dm G7

Was that a dream or was it true?

[Verse 4]

C Am Em C

Our homeward step was just as light,

F Em Am

As the tap dancing feet of Astaire,

C Am Em Dm

And like an echo, far away,

[Outro]

C Am Dm G7

A nightingale sang in Berkeley

C Am Dm G7
