Chords for Bob Dylan - Key West (Philosopher Pirate) - Lyric Video

_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [C] McKinley hollered, [Am] McKinley swung, Dr.
Shuby [C]-Kiddeley, her death is on [Am] the wall.
Say it to me, [F] if you got something to confess.
[Am] _ _
I heard [C] all about it, _ he was going [Am] down slow.
Heard [C] it on the wireless [Am] radio, from down in [F] the blue docks, way down [Am] in Key West.
I'm searching [C] for love, _ for [Am] inspiration, _ _
_ [C] _ on that pirate [Am] radio station, _ coming out of [F] Luxembourg
_ and [Am] Budapest. _ _
[C] Radio signal, _ [Am] clear as can be, I'm so deep [C] in love, that I can hardly [Am] see. _ _
[F] Down on the flatlands, way [Am] down in Key West.
[F] Key West is the place to be, [C] if you're looking for [Am] immortality.
[C] Stay on the road, follow the highway [Am] sign. _
_ [F] Key West is fine and fair, [C] if you lost your mind, [Am] you'll find it there.
[F] Key West is on the [Am] horizon line. _ _
[C] I was born on the wrong side of [Am] the railroad track, _
_ [C] like Ginsberg, Corso and [Am] Calwine. _
Like [F] Louie and Jimmy and Buddy and all the [Am] rest. _ _
[C] Well, it might not be the thing [Am] to do, _ _ [C] but I'm sticking with you through and [Am] through. _
Down in the [F] flatlands, way down in [Am] Key West. _
[C] I got both my feet, landed [Am] square on the ground.
Got my right [C] hand high, _ with the [Am] thumb down. _
Such is [F] life, _ such is [Am] happiness. _ _
[C] Hibiscus flowers, they grow [Am] everywhere here. _
If you're well [C] worn, put it behind your [Am] ear. _
Down on the bottom, [F] way down in Key [Am] West. _ _
_ [F] Key West is the place to go, [C] down by the Gulf [Am] of Mexico.
[C] Beyond the sea, beyond the shifting [Am] sand. _ _
[F] Key West is the gateway key [C] to innocence and [Am] purity.
[F] Key West, [F] Key West is the enchanted [Am] land. _ _
_ [C] I've never lived [Am] in the land of Oz.
[C] Or wasted my time with an [Am] unworthy cause.
It's [F] hot down here, and you [Am] can't be overdressed.
_ [C] Tiny blossoms of [Am] a toxic plant. _
[C] They can make you dizzy, like a [Am] hippy but a cat.
Down [F] in the flatlands, way down in [Am] Key West. _
[C] Where the fishtail ponds [Am] and the orchard trees.
They can give [C] you that bleeding heart [Am] disease. _ _
[F] People tell me, I ought to [Am] try a little tenderness.
A [C] million streets, _ [Am] maybe a park.
[C] Walking in the shadows, [Am] after dark. _
[F] Down under, way down in [Am] Key West. _
_ [C] I play gumbo limbo spiritual.
[Am] _ _ _
_ [C] I know all the Hindu rituals.
[Am] _ _
People [F] tell me, that I'm truly [Am] blessed. _ _
[C] Go get me a bluebird, [Am] in the summer and the spring.
[C] Winter here, is [Am] an unknown thing.
Down [F] in the flatlands, way down [Am] in Key West. _
[F] Key West, is under the sun.
[C] Under the radar, [Am] under the gun.
[C] You stay to the left, and then you [Am] lean to the right. _
_ [F] Feel the sunlight on your skin.
[C] And the healing [Am] virtues of the wind.
[F] Key West, Key West is the [Am] land of light. _
_ [C] Wherever I travel, [Am] wherever I roam.
[C] I'm not that far, [Am] from the combat home.
[F] I do what I think is right, [Am] what I think is best.
_ [C] History Street, [Am] off of Mallory Square.
_ [C] _ _ Truman had his [Am] White House there. _
_ [F] Eastbound, westbound, way [Am] down in Key West.
_ [C] Twelve years old, [Am] they put me in a suit.
_ [C] _ Forced me to marry a [Am] prostitute. _ _
[F] There were gold fringes on her [Am] wedding dress. _
_ [C] That's my story, [Am] but not where it ends.
_ [C] She's still cute, and [Am] we're still friends. _
_ [F] Down on the bottom, way down [Am] in Key West. _
_ [C] I play both sides, [Am] against the middle. _
_ [C] Tryin' to pick up that pirate radio [Am] signal.
I heard [F] the news, _ _ [Am] I heard your last request.
_ [C] Fly around my pretty little [Am] miss. _ _
[C] I don't love nobody, give me a [Am] kiss. _ _
[F] Down on the bottom, way down in [Am] Key West. _
_ Key West is the place to be, [C] if you're looking for [Am]
immortality.
[C] Key West is paradise [Am] divine. _
_ [F] Key West is fine and fair, [C] if you lost your mind, [Am] you'll find it there.
[F] Key West is on the [Am] horizon line. _
