F# D#m
McKinley hollered, McKinley squalled
F# D#m
Doctor said, "McKinley, death is on the wall
Bmaj7 D#m
Say it to me, if you got something to confess
F# D#m
I heard all about it, he was going down slow
F# D#m
I heard it on, the wireless radio
Bmaj7 D#m
From down in the boondocks way down in Key West
F# D#m
I’m searching for love, for inspiration
F# D#m
On that pirate radio station
Bmaj7 D#m
Coming out of Luxembourg and Budapest
F# D#m
Radio signal’s clear as can be
F# D#m
I’m so deep in love that I can hardly see
Bmaj7 D#m
Down on the flat lands, way down in Key West
Bmaj7
Key West is the place to be
F# D#m
If you’re looking for immortality
F# D#m
Stay on the road, follow the highway sign
Bmaj7
Key West is fine and fair,
F# D#m
If you lost your mind, you will find it there
Bmaj7 D#m
Key West is on the horizon line
F# D#m
I was born on the wrong side of the railroad track
F# D#m
Like Ginsberg, Corso and Kerouac
Bmaj7 D#m
Like Louis, and Jimmy and Buddy and all the rest
F# D#m
Well, it might not be the thing to do
F# D#m
But I’m sticking with you through and through
Bmaj7 D#m
Down in the flat lands, way down in Key West
F# D#m
I got both of my feet planted square on the ground
F# D#m
Got my right hand high, with the thumb down
Bmaj7 D#m
Such is life, such is happiness
F# D#m
Hibiscus flowers, they grow everywhere here
F# D#m
If you wear one, put it behind your ear
Bmaj7 D#m
Down in the bottom, way down in Key West
Bmaj7
Key West is the place to go
F# D#m
Down by the Gulf of Mexico
F# D#m
Beyond the city, beyond the sifting sands
Bmaj7
Key West is the gateway key
F# D#m
to innocence and purity
Bmaj7 D#m
Key West, Key West is the enchanted land
F# D#m
I’ve never lived in the land of Oz
F# D#m
Or wasted my time with an unworthy cause
Bmaj7 D#m
It’s hot down here, and you can’t be overdressed
F# D#m
China blossoms of a toxic plant
F# D#m
They can make you dizzy, I'd like to help you but I can't
Bmaj7 D#m
Down in the flat lands way down in Key West
F# D#m
Well the fish tail ponds, and the orchid trees
F# D#m
They can give you that bleeding heart disease
Bmaj7 D#m
People tell me I ought to try a little tenderness
F# D#m
On Newton Street, Bay view Park
F# D#m
Walking in the shadow after dark
Bmaj7 D#m
Down under, way down in Key West
F# D#m
I played Gumbo Limbo spirituals
F# D#m
I know all the Hindu rituals
Bmaj7 D#m
People tell me that I’m truly blessed
F# D#m
Bougainvillea blooming in the summer, in the spring
F# D#m
Winter here is an unknown thing
Bmaj7 D#m
Down in the flat lands, way down in Key West
Bmaj7 F# D#m
Key West is under the sun, under the radar, under the gun
F# D#m
You stay to the left, and then you lean to the right
Bmaj7 F# D#m
Feel the sunlight on your skin, the healing virtues of the wind
Bmaj7 D#m
Key West, Key West is the land of light
F# D#m
Wherever I travel, wherever I roam
F# D#m
I’m not that far, before I come back home
Bmaj7 D#m
I do what I think is right, what I think is best
F# D#m
History street off off Mallory Square
F# D#m
Truman had his White House there
Bmaj7 D#m
East bound, west bound, way down in Key West
F# D#m
Twelve years old, they put me in a suit
F# D#m
Forced me to marry a prostitute
Bmaj7 D#m
There were gold fringes on her wedding dress
F# D#m
That’s my story, but not where it ends
F# D#m
She’s still cute, and we’re still friends
Bmaj7 D#m
Down on the bottom, way down in Key West
F# D#m
I play both sides against the middle
F# D#m
Tryin’ to pick up that pirate radio signal
Bmaj7 D#m
I heard the news, I heard your last request
F# D#m
Fly around my pretty little Miss
F# D#m
I don’t love nobody, give me a kiss
Bmaj7 D#m
Down on the bottom, way down in Key West
Bmaj7
Key West is the place to be
F# D#m
If you’re looking for immortality
F# D#m
Key West is paradise divine
Bmaj7
Key West is fine and fair
F# D#m
If you lost your mind, you’ll find it there
Bmaj7 D#m
Key West is on the horizon line
F# D#m F# D#m
Bmaj7 D#m F# D#m
