Verse 1
C 
Dm 
Sailor on the subway, late last night
G 
I read your picture postcard
C 
from paradise
F 
The one with the palm trees
Dm 
and the moonlights
G 
Softly laying on the bay
C 
I read what you said, you said,
Dm 
wish you were here
G 
It's winter up there,
here it's summer all year
C 
F 
So I'm sending some sunshine
C 
Dm 
with this souvenir
G 
To keep you warm while you're away
C 
F 
St. Augustine, won't you pray for me
G 
Am 
Show me my way back to the sea
F 
Baby's been waiting endlessly
Dm 
G 
For me in Florida
C 
She's my feminine youth
F 
She's my old Key West
G 
The brightest of bloom in
Am 
my treasure chest
F 
Dm 
The flower that blooms the loveliest
G 
C

Dm

Florida, going back to love
F 
Dm 
but missing love
G 
C 
Florida
It's a hard life when the
Dm 
island you're on
G 
It's covered with snow,
B 
C 
steel and stone
F 
Where the natives are
Dm 
restless all night long
G 
Ooh, the jungle never sleeps
C 
And dreams of golden days
Dm 
turning into  sun
G 
Where the dollars you raise
are the sandy ones
C 
F 
And  when you're making waves
Dm 
you're just having fun
G 
Making love out on the beach
C 
F 
St. Augustine, won't you pray for me?
G 
Show me my way back to the sea
Am 
F 
Where baby's been waiting endlessly
Dm 
G 
For me in Florida
C 
She's my father of youth
F 
She's my old Key West
G 
The brightest of bloom in
Am 
my treasured chest
F 
Dm 
The flower that blooms the loveliest
