VERSE 
verse 1 
F# 
Gardenia 
E 
Where are you? 
F# 
Black goddess in a shabby raincoat 
E 
Where are you tonight? 
F# 
Cheap purple baby-doll dress 
E 
A gardenia in your hair 
F# 
Much taller and stronger than me 
E 
A forbidden dream, a dream, a dream 

 
F#                     E 
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia what to do tonight 
F#                     E 
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia what to do tonight 


verse 2 
F# 
Gardenia 
E 
Where are you, tonight? 
F# 
The streets were your home 
E 
Now where do you roam? 
F# 
Your hourglass ass 
E 
And your powerful back 
F# 
Your slant devil eyes 
E 
And the ditch on your spine 
Deep ass, deep ass 


F#                     E 
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia what to do tonight 
F#                     E 
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia what to do tonight 


Bridge 
D 
We lay in the darkness 
F#                  E 
Then she turned the lights on 
D 
I saw a dangerous habit 
F#                  E 
When she turned the lights on 
D 
There's always a catch in the darkness when you 
F#                G# 
When you turn the lights on 
D 
There's always a catch Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well 

 
F#                     E 
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia what to do tonight 
F#                     E 
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia what to do tonight 


verse 3 
F# 
Alone in the cheapo motel 
E 
By the highway to hell 
F# 
America's greatest living poet was ogling you all 
E 
Night, You should be wearing the finest gown 
F# 
But here you are now -- Gas, food, lodging, 
E 
poverty, misery --and gardenia 
F# 
You could be burned at the stake 
E 
For all your mistakes, mistakes, mistakes 

 
F#                     E 
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia what to do tonight 
F#                     E 
All I wanna do is tell Gardenia what to do tonight
