Iggy Pop - Gardenia Chords

Iggy Pop - Gardenia Chords

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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