Florida Key chords by The New Basement Tapes

It may sound better to play it in G with a capo on the fifth fret, but that's entirely up to you.
The riff sounds better without a capo.


C F C C = Riff (You  basically pick out the notes in F)

C
Miami woman so fine and fair
G
I try and try but I can't get anywhere
Dm                   F
I sail out under the sun
Dm                           F
Looking for my darling, my only one
Dm                             F
I sail all day, and when the day is done
C

She's still the one I want to see
G                      C      Riff(x2)
I must find that Florida Key

C
Collins Avenue, Fifth Street and Main
G
I walk up and down but it's all in vain
Dm                   F
My only darling is gone
Dm                             F
Took everything and put it out on the lawn
Dm                             F
And Jim came and got it and he gave it to John
C
It's getting harder and harder to be me
G                      C      Riff(x2)
I must find that Florida Key

C
Just standing on the curb watching for boats
G
While them boys and girls pass by on their big silver goats
Dm                               F
I'm getting out while the getting is good
Dm                               F
In my ship of steel or in my ship of wood
Dm                               F
One more time I'm gonna do just like I should
C
See, this could only happen to me
G                      C      Riff
I must find that Florida Key

Am
Need a little sunshine in my beer
Bb
Thinking 'bout eloping
F
Nothing's locked, never will be
G
Everything is open

C
There's only one thing that lurks in my mind
G
It's nothing here, nothing I've left behind
                      Dm                       F
There's something up front, something I hope to find
Dm                            F
I'm gonna set sail again tonight
Dm                               F
Round the horn and in the clear moonlight
C
Or at least I'm sure it's going to be
G                      C      Riff x2
