Am E7 Am F E7
verse 1:
Am E7
One starry night in a little town in old Mexico
E7 Am
I found my love down by the sea where soft trade winds blow
A7 Dm
She came in the night with perfume that sweetened the air
Am E7 Am F E7
And I lost my heart to the girl with gardenias in her hair
verse 2:
Am E7
I glanced her way she smiled and my heart started to sing
E7 Am
She came into my arms and the night became a sweet magic thing
A7 Dm
When I held her close I knew I'd follow her anywhere
Am E7 Am
And I lost my heart to the girl with gardenias in her hair
Tag:
A7 Dm
We shared through the night our love until the first light of dawn
B7 Em G
Then one last kiss and like a whisper on the wind she was gone
verse 3:
Am E7
I go each night to the places where she once spoke my name
E7 Am
Some call me fool they say I'm chasing only a dream
A7 Dm
But I know one day I'll turn and suddenly she'll be there
Am E7 Am E7 Am
And I'll spend my life with the girl with gardenias in her hair
