Gringo In Belize

Bb

[Verse 1]
Bb
Well he came down on vacation, 
'cause he liked the tropic sun
                          F
Margaritas and the music, made it 
all seem fun
  Eb                              
He bought a piece of heaven on the
Bb        Cm
 Carribean seas
       Bb           F         Bb
He's a happy little camper in Belize
Bb
He began to build a condo, but the 
labor cost was high
His partner stole his money, that 
F
left him high and dry
    Eb                             
His land is still a mudhole, where 
    Bb              Cm
you sink up to your knees
         Bb           F         
And he's just another gringo in 
Bb
Belize

[Chorus]
Eb                                
He's a planner, he's a dreamer, 
     Bb
he's a sordid little schemer,
F                                  
Seems to think that money grows on 
Bb
trees
Eb                                
He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's 
  Bb
a pothead, he's a boozer,
     F                      Bb
He's just another gringo in Belize

[Verse 2]
Bb
Well he used to have a girlfriend 
that now he can't afford
Since one of his investments got 
F
busted at the border
   Eb                         
He wasted all his money paying 
 Bb                   Cm
bribes and fines and fees
         F                     
And he's just another gringo in 
 Bb
Belize
Bb
So he sold his motorcycle, somebody 
stole his boat
They ran it on the reef and now the 
F
damn thing just won't float
    Eb                             
The only thing's that free is mud, 
Bb                 Cm
mosquitoes and the breeze
         F                     
And he's just another gringo in 
 Bb
Belize

[Chorus]
Eb                                
He's a planner, he's a dreamer, 
     Bb
he's a sordid little schemer,
F                                  
Seems to think that money grows on 
Bb
trees
Eb                                
He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's 
  Bb
a pothead, he's a boozer,
     F                      Bb
He's just another gringo in Belize

[Verse 3]
Bb
Now he'll drink a beer for 
breakfast, he'll chase it with rum 
punch
He's smoking up his dinner, he's a 
F
snorting up his lunch
          Eb                     
He's been wasted on the mainland, 
          Bb                Cm
now he's stoned out in the Cayes
         F                     
And he's just another gringo in 
 Bb
Belize

[Chorus]
Eb                                
He's a planner, he's a dreamer, 
     Bb
he's a sordid little schemer,
F                                  
Seems to think that money grows on

Eb                                
He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's 
  Bb
a pothead, he's a boozer,
     F                      Bb
He's just another gringo in Belize
     F                      Bb
He's just another gringo in Belize
F                                 
Sounds like a pretty good 
          Bb
goddamned life to me
