C Am McKinley hollered, McKinley squalled C Am Doctor said, "McKinley, death is on the wall Fmaj7 Am Say it to me, if you got something to confess C Am I heard all about it, he was going down slow C Am I heard it on, the wireless radio Fmaj7 Am From down in the boondocks way down in Key West C Am I’m searching for love, for inspiration C Am On that pirate radio station Fmaj7 Am Coming out of Luxembourg and Budapest C Am Radio signal’s clear as can be C Am I’m so deep in love that I can hardly see Fmaj7 Am Down on the flat lands, way down in Key West Fmaj7 Key West is the place to be C Am If you’re looking for immortality C Am Stay on the road, follow the highway sign Fmaj7 Key West is fine and fair, C Am If you lost your mind, you will find it there Fmaj7 Am Key West is on the horizon line C Am I was born on the wrong side of the railroad track C Am Like Ginsberg, Corso and Kerouac Fmaj7 Am Like Louis, and Jimmy and Buddy and all the rest C Am Well, it might not be the thing to do C Am But I’m sticking with you through and through Fmaj7 Am Down in the flat lands, way down in Key West C Am I got both of my feet planted square on the ground C Am Got my right hand high, with the thumb down Fmaj7 Am Such is life, such is happiness C Am Hibiscus flowers, they grow everywhere here C Am If you wear one, put it behind your ear Fmaj7 Am Down in the bottom, way down in Key West Fmaj7 Key West is the place to go C Am Down by the Gulf of Mexico C Am Beyond the city, beyond the sifting sands Fmaj7 Key West is the gateway key C Am to innocence and purity Fmaj7 Am Key West, Key West is the enchanted land C Am I’ve never lived in the land of Oz C Am Or wasted my time with an unworthy cause Fmaj7 Am It’s hot down here, and you can’t be overdressed C Am China blossoms of a toxic plant C Am They can make you dizzy, I'd like to help you but I can't Fmaj7 Am Down in the flat lands way down in Key West C Am Well the fish tail ponds, and the orchid trees C Am They can give you that bleeding heart disease Fmaj7 Am People tell me I ought to try a little tenderness C Am On Newton Street, Bay view Park C Am Walking in the shadow after dark Fmaj7 Am Down under, way down in Key West C Am I played Gumbo Limbo spirituals C Am I know all the Hindu rituals Fmaj7 Am People tell me that I’m truly blessed C Am Bougainvillea blooming in the summer, in the spring C Am Winter here is an unknown thing Fmaj7 Am Down in the flat lands, way down in Key West Fmaj7 C Am Key West is under the sun, under the radar, under the gun C Am You stay to the left, and then you lean to the right Fmaj7 C Am Feel the sunlight on your skin, the healing virtues of the wind Fmaj7 Am Key West, Key West is the land of light C Am Wherever I travel, wherever I roam C Am I’m not that far, before I come back home Fmaj7 Am I do what I think is right, what I think is best C Am History street off off Mallory Square C Am Truman had his White House there Fmaj7 Am East bound, west bound, way down in Key West C Am Twelve years old, they put me in a suit C Am Forced me to marry a prostitute Fmaj7 Am There were gold fringes on her wedding dress C Am That’s my story, but not where it ends C Am She’s still cute, and we’re still friends Fmaj7 Am Down on the bottom, way down in Key West C Am I play both sides against the middle C Am Tryin’ to pick up that pirate radio signal Fmaj7 Am I heard the news, I heard your last request C Am Fly around my pretty little Miss C Am I don’t love nobody, give me a kiss Fmaj7 Am Down on the bottom, way down in Key West Fmaj7 Key West is the place to be C Am If you’re looking for immortality C Am Key West is paradise divine Fmaj7 Key West is fine and fair C Am If you lost your mind, you’ll find it there Fmaj7 Am Key West is on the horizon line
