A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
As Sung by: Tony Bennett
>From the CD: Perfectly Frank
Transcribed by Mark Craft.
Note: This is all my own work and only an approximation of the song as
interpreted by Tony. It is not in Tony's key -- and I'm no Ralph Sharon!
That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
[short bridge, try
C7,
Am,
G7]
I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
[short bridge, try
C7,
Am,
B7]
[chorus:]
The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole darned world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
[Repeat chorus with vocal or instrumental break]
My homeward steps were just as light
As the tap dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo, far away
A [
C7]nightingale [
Am] sang in [
Dm7]Berke[
G7]ley [
C7] Square
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkeley Square
[hit chord on each word]
[
C7] I [
C7] was [
C7] there [
C7]
