(intro) F

 Gm7       C7    F7M
Blue gardenia
                    E7    Eb7M
Now I'm alone with you
                 D7   Gm7
And I am oh so blue
        C7          F7M    D7
She has passed us aside
     Gm7      C7     Gm7     Cm9    F7M
And like you,     gardenia
                     E7     Eb7M
Once I was near her heart
                      D7    Gm7
After the teardrops start
                        Cm9    F7M
Where are teardrops to hide.

                C7     F7M
I lived for an hour
                 Bm7   E7   A7M
What more can I tell
        Gbm7            Bm7   E7  A7M
Love bloomed like a flower
          D7     Gm7    C7
Then the petals fell
  Gm7      C7    F7M
Blue gardenia
                      D7   Gm7
Thrown to a passing breeze
                     Bb/C
But rest in my book
        Cm9   F7M   Bbm7
Of memories

        Gbm7            Bm7   E7  A7M
Love bloomed like a flower

Then the petals fell
  Gm7      C7    F7M
Blue gardenia
                      D7   Gm7
Thrown to a passing breeze
                     Bb/C
