Intro: Em7 Cdim  A7 A7/13 D7M  F#m  E7/9 D7M B7 F#m D9 Bm5-/7 A7 D  
 
Em7 Cdim  A7    A7/13     F#m         D7M      B7  
Blue gardenia,  now I'm alone with you  
D7M      B7   F#m     D9  Bm5-/7         A7   D  
And I am also blue    she has tossed us aside  
A  A7/13 Em7 Cdim  A7    A7/13      F#m           D7M  B7  
And like you, gardenia, once I was near her heart  
D7M       B7        F#m     Em7      A7     G/B   A7 C#7  
After the teardrops start, where are tear   drops to hide 
 
Bridge 
E C#m4/7 F#m    Fdim   B7    E   B7    E    Cdim  
I lived  for an hour        what more can I tell 
A    F#m     D9    Fdim   E7 F#7      Edim    B7  
Love bloomed like a flower , then the petals fell 
Em7 Cdim  A7    A7/13   D7M        F#m    E7/9  
Blue gardenia, thrown to a passing breeze  
Gdim D9    F#m    Bm  Bm7/E Em7 Edim D Gm7 A7 D  
But pressed in my book    of   memorries 
E C#m4/7 F#m    Fdim   B7    E   B7    E    Cdim  
I lived  for an hour        what more can I tell  
A    F#m     D9    Fdim   E7 F#7      Edim    B7  
Love bloomed like a flower , then the petals fell  
Em7 Cdim  A7    A7/13   D7M        F#m    E7/9  
Blue gardenia, thrown to a passing breeze  
Gdim D9    F#m    Bm  Bm7/E Em7 Edim D Gm7 A7 D  
But pressed in my book    of   memorries
