Intro: 

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

     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
