Marty Robbins - The girl with gardenias in her hair

^AmOne starry night in a little town in o^E7ld Mexico ^E7I found my love down by the sea where ^Amsoft trade winds blow She c^A7ame in the night with perfume that sw^Dmeetened the air And ^AmI lost my heart to the g^E7irl with gardenias in her h^Amair ^{F E7}

^AmI glanced her way she smiled and my heart s^E7tarted to sing She c^E7ame into my arms and the night became a s^Amweet magic thing When ^A7I held her close I knew I'd follow ^Dmher anywhere And ^AmI lost my heart to the g^E7irl with gardenias in her ^Amhair

We sh^A7ared through the night our love until the f^Dmirst light of dawn ^B7Then one last kiss and like a whisper on the w^Emind she was g^Gone

^AmI go each night to the places where she o^E7nce spoke my name ^E7Some call me fool they say I'm chasing ^Amonly a dream But ^A7I know one day I'll turn and sudden^Dmly she'll be there And I^Am'll spend my life with the g^E7irl with gardenias in her ^Amhair^{E7 Am}
