Gardenia Chords

(ver. 2)
Iggy Pop
[Intro]
F# F# E E
F# F# E E


[Verse 1]
   F#       F#        E          E
Gardenia        Where are you?
F#                 F#                         E      E
Black goddess in a shabby raincoat, Where are you tonight?
F#             F#                  E                  E
Cheap purple baby-doll dress, A gardenia in your hair
F#                   F#           E                   E                   E/F#
Much taller and stronger than me,   A forbidden dream,  a dream, a dream


[Chorus]
F#                F#            E                  E     E/F#
   All I wanna do    is tell Gardenia what to do tonight
F#                F#            E                  E    E/F#
   All I wanna do    is tell Gardenia what to do tonight


[Verse 2]
   F#       F#       E          E
Gardenia,      Where are you, tonight?
    F#                     F#             E             E
The streets were your home,     Now where do you roam?
     F#             F#          E             E
Your hourglass ass,    And your powerful back
     F#               F#         E                   E
Your slant devil eyes,   And the ditch on your spine, Deep ass, deep ass


[Chorus]
F#                F#            E                  E     E/F#
   All I wanna do    is tell Gardenia what to do tonight
F#                F#            E                  E    E/F#
   All I wanna do    is tell Gardenia what to do tonight


[Bridge]
D             D
We lay in the darkness
F#                  E
Then she turned the lights on
  D                 D
I saw a dangerous habit
F#                  E
When she turned the lights on
                 D            D
There's always a catch in the darkness when you
F#                G#
When you turn the lights on
                 D                     D
There's always a catch Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

[Chorus]
F#                F#            E                  E     E/F#
   All I wanna do    is tell Gardenia what to do tonight
F#                F#            E                  E    E/F#
   All I wanna do    is tell Gardenia what to do tonight



[Verse 3]
 F#                 F#     E                      E
Alone in the cheapo motel, By the highway to hell
F#                                    F#
   America's greatest living poet was ogling you all
           E                                   E
Night, You should be wearing the finest gown
    F#                             F#
But here you are now -- Gas, food, lodging,
E                                E/F#
poverty, misery --and gardenia
    F#                               F#
You could be burned at the stake
    E                                    E/F#
For all your mistakes, mistakes, mistakes


[Chorus]
F#                F#            E                  E     E/F#
   All I wanna do    is tell Gardenia what to do tonight
F#                F#            E                  E    E/F#
   All I wanna do    is tell Gardenia what to do tonight
