Intro:

C Am Em C7 F E7 Am
When true lovers meet in Mayfair, so the legends tell,

C Am Em C7 Dm7
Song birds sing, winter turns to spring.

C Am Em C7 F E7 Am Fm7
Every winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell,

C Am Em C7 Dm7 C Am Dm G7 C
I know such enchantment can be, cause it happened one evening to me.

C Am Em C7 F E7 Am
That certain night, the night we met, there was magic abroad in the air.

Fm7

C Am Em C7 Dm7 C Am Dm G7
There were angels dining at the Ritz, and a nightingale sang in Berkeley

C Am Dm G7
Square.

C Am Em C7 F E7 Am Fm7
I may be right, I may be wrong, but I m perfectly willing to swear,

C Am Em C7 Dm7 C Am Dm G7
That when you turned and smiled at me, a nightingale sang in Berkeley

C
Square.

Chorus:

F B7 G#m7 A# B7
The moon that lingered over London town, poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown,

E E7 B7 Bm7 A Am
How could he know we two were so in love, the whole darn world seemed upside

Dm7 G7
down.

C Em C7 F Fm Am
The streets of town were paved with stars, it was such a romantic affair,

Fm7

C Gm C7 Dm7 C Am Dm G7
And as we kissed and said goodnight, a nightingale sang in Berkeley

C
Square.

Musical Interlude: (Chords of above verse)

F B7 G#m7 A# B7
When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue, to interrept our rendezvous,

E E7 B7 Bm7 A Am Dm7
I still remember how you smiled and said "Was that a dream, or was it true?"
