‪China blossoms of a toxic plant ‬
G# Fm
‪They can make you dizzy, I'd like to help you but I can't
C#maj7 Fm
‪Down in the flat lands way down in Key West ‬
G# Fm
‪Well the fish tail ponds, and the orchid trees
G# Fm
‪They can give you that bleeding heart disease
C#maj7 Fm
‪People tell me I ought to try a little tenderness ‬
G# Fm
‪On Newton Street, Bay view Park ‬
G# Fm
‪Walking in the shadow after dark ‬
C#maj7 Fm
‪Down under, way down in Key West ‬
G# Fm
‪I played Gumbo Limbo spirituals
G# Fm
‪I know all the Hindu rituals ‬
C#maj7 Fm
‪People tell me that I’m truly blessed ‬

Winter here is an unknown thing
C#maj7 Fm
Down in the flat lands, way down in Key West

Down on the bottom, way down in Key West

Tryin’ to pick up that pirate radio signal
