Marty Robbins – The Girl With Gardenias In Her Hair (Guitar)

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

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

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
