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 Fm7
That certain night, the night we met, there was magic abroad in the air.
C Am Em C7 Dm7 C Am Dm G7 C Am Dm G7
There were angels dining at the Ritz, and a nightingale sang in Berkeley 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 C
That when you turned and smiled at me, a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

The moon that lingered over London town, poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown,
E E7 B7 Bm7 A Am Dm7 G7
How could he know we two were so in love, the whole darn world seemed upside down.
C Em C7 F Fm Am Fm7
The streets of town were paved with stars, it was such a romantic affair,
C Gm C7 Dm7 C Am Dm G7 C
And as we kissed and said goodnight, a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
Musical Interlude: (Chords of above verse)

Our homeward step was just as light, as the tap dancing feet of Astaire,

And like an echo, far away, a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
C Gm C7 Dm7 C Am Dm G7 Gm
I know cause I was there; that night in Berkeley Square. (Slowing)
