I heard all about it, he was going down slow
G Em
I heard it on, the wireless radio
Cmaj7 Em
From down in the boondocks way down in Key West
G Em
I’m searching for love, for inspiration
G Em
On that pirate radio station
Cmaj7 Em
Coming out of Luxembourg and Budapest
G Em
Radio signal’s clear as can be
G Em
I’m so deep in love that I can hardly see
Cmaj7 Em
Down on the flat lands, way down in Key West
Cmaj7
Key West is the place to be
G Em
If you’re looking for immortality

If you lost your mind, you will find it there

Like Louis, and Jimmy and Buddy and all the rest

Down in the flat lands, way down in Key West
G Em
I got both of my feet planted square on the ground
G Em
Got my right hand high, with the thumb down
Cmaj7 Em
Such is life, such is happiness
G Em
Hibiscus flowers, they grow everywhere here
G Em
If you wear one, put it behind your ear
Cmaj7 Em
Down in the bottom, way down in Key West
Cmaj7
Key West is the place to go
G Em
Down by the Gulf of Mexico
G Em
Beyond the city, beyond the sifting sands
Cmaj7
Key West is the gateway key
G Em
to innocence and purity
Cmaj7 Em
Key West, Key West is the enchanted land
G Em
I’ve never lived in the land of Oz

China blossoms of a toxic plant

Down in the flat lands way down in Key West
G Em
Well the fish tail ponds, and the orchid trees
G Em
They can give you that bleeding heart disease
Cmaj7 Em
People tell me I ought to try a little tenderness
G Em
On Newton Street, Bay view Park
G Em
Walking in the shadow after dark
Cmaj7 Em
Down under, way down in Key West
G Em
I played Gumbo Limbo spirituals
G Em
I know all the Hindu rituals
Cmaj7 Em
People tell me that I’m truly blessed
G Em
Bougainvillea blooming in the summer, in the spring

Key West, Key West is the land of light

I do what I think is right, what I think is best

East bound, west bound, way down in Key West

Twelve years old, they put me in a suit
G Em
Forced me to marry a prostitute
Cmaj7 Em
There were gold fringes on her wedding dress
G Em
That’s my story, but not where it ends
G Em
She’s still cute, and we’re still friends
Cmaj7 Em
Down on the bottom, way down in Key West
G Em
I play both sides against the middle
G Em
Tryin’ to pick up that pirate radio signal
Cmaj7 Em
I heard the news, I heard your last request
G Em
Fly around my pretty little Miss

I don’t love nobody, give me a kiss
Cmaj7 Em
Down on the bottom, way down in Key West
Cmaj7
Key West is the place to be
G Em
If you’re looking for immortality
G Em
Key West is paradise divine
Cmaj7
Key West is fine and fair
G Em
If you lost your mind, you’ll find it there

Key West is on the horizon line
