-5 -5* -6   7 -6  -5*  -5   -2 -3* -3*
For I bring a lit-tle white gar-de-nia
4  -5  -5*  -6 -5* -5 5  -6 -2
As re-fresh-ing as a day in May
-5* -6   7   -7 7  -6  -5*
You may wear it if you care
3   4   4 -3 -2
Or toss it a-way

-5 -5*  -6  7  -6  -5*  -5   -2 -3* -3*
If you look in-to this white gar-de-nia
   4   -5 -5*  -6   -5* -5  5   -6  -2
There’s a mes-sage there I dare not say
 -5*  -6   7   -7
That I’ll let this 
 7  -6   -5*   3  4   4  -3  -6 
Lit-tle white gar-de-nia con-vey
-77-5*675*-5-66

Who knows, to-mor-row we may be to-geth-er

Take this to-ken of my love
 -5  -5  -5 -5   7   7   -5   -5  -5   -5*
Cher-ish it and keep it close to your heart
-5 -5*  -6     7    -6 -5* -5  -2  -3*   -3*
If our paths should ev-er cross a-gain, dear
4  -5 -5*   -6 -5*-5   5    -6  -2
Ac-ci-dent-‘ly or by fate’s de-sign
-5* -6  7  -7  7  -6   -5*   3  4   4
If you wear a lit-tle white gar-de-nia
 -5*  7   -7  -3  -3*
I’ll know you are mine
