[Verse]
F7 It was was ninety miles to freedom F7 But they took the risk Bb Though ocean was all motion Bb And the wind was brisk Bb F7 The deadly gunboats never saw them F7 In the pale moonlight F7 Bb They were off to Cayo Hueso Bb By the dawn's early light F7 The gringo in the garden called the custom's man B6 They answered all his questions B6 Were allowed to land F7 The ladies shared a hairbrush F7 And their husbands had a Coke Bbmaj7 And they were taken up to Krome Bbmaj7 Bb To meet with their kin folk

[Verse]
F7 In a third world jungle F7 Not so far away F7 Bbmaj7 Lives a natural drummer Bbmaj7 With a dream to play Bbmaj7 F7 He's the brother of the lizard F7 And the flying fish Bb But he's enchanted by the pictures Bb From the satellite dish Bb F7 So his mama packs his bag F7 Knots his red neck tie Bb Send him north to her relations Bb With a kiss goodbye F7 He's bewildered by the plane ride F7 And the immigration line Bb Until he sees his Christian name Bb Upon a cardboard sign
[Verse]

F Bb It's hard to believe this city started as a trading post Eb F Bb Am Gm C Home to the Seminole pirate and pioneer C C7 F Between the river of grass and the old mosquito coast C7 Am F Before the railroad claimed the southernmost frontier
[Verse]
F7 I am umbilically connected to the temperate zone G Bb It brought me life, it brought me love Bb F I never have outgrown F Bb Brought me one too many nights along that Biscayne shore Bb F7 And one too many mornings in the Grove drugstore
[Verse]
F7 And one way or the other we're all refugees Bb Livin' out this easy life below the banyan trees F F7 Smoothing off the rougher edges of the culture clash F7 Bb We've got a style we've got a look Bb C9 We've got that old panache
