Intro 
A       G6    A       A                      G                        A 
Start up , ‘73, . . . Budweiser route . . . Miami down through the keys 
A                                G           A 
Flagler’s overseas highway was narrow and rough 
A                                  G                  A     G  A 
No weight on the wheels . . . or side mirrors on the truck 

Verso 1:A                      G            G              A 
She was born . . .  in Cuba . . .  just 90 miles away 
A                   G                G              A 
Where every day is songless . . . and every color gray 
A                             G          G               A 
She heard a place of freedom lie . . .  just across the bay 
A                             G                     G        A     G  A 
So she strapped herself to a steel drum boat . . .  drifted away 
A            G6       A           G                  A 
She landed at Bud & Mary’s . . . Isla Morada in the Keys 
A                      G                   G                A 
She got a job cleaning fish . . .  as they came in from the sea 
A                    G                        G                 A 
Fate would play matchmaker . . .  when they crossed paths that day 
A                G            G                     A     G  A 
He met the Cuban girl . . .  putting cases of beer away 

Verso 2:A          G6        A             G                            A 
She knew a place of beauty . . . but in English couldn’t say to me 
A                 G               G                  A 
But he knew she sought . . .   the square called Mallory 
A                   G                    G                     A 
He said hang up your apron . . .  tell Mary you’re coming with me 
A                        G                   G               A 
And we’ll watch the sun set together . . .  in that western key 
A       G6            A             G                A 
She ran ahead to the rail . . .  the barrier to the sea 
A                         G                      A 
As the sun tucked itself away, she fell to her knees 
A                   G                  G               A 
She said a prayer to heaven . . .  in words unknown to me 
A                           G          G            A   G  A 
But I knew two words among them . . . Jesus and Mallory 

Outro 
A                 G6        A           G                       A 
For 9  years she rode beside me . . .  up and down . . . these keys 
A                   G                G                  A   G  A 
From Marathon to Big Pine . . . they stretched an end to me 
A                                G                  G                  A 
The seven mile bridge . . . was  wide enough . . . that any now can cross 
A                             G              G                                 A 
So Mallory and I we bought a shack . . . where we pretend . . . we’re . . .  lost
