G Well he came down on vacation, 'cause he liked the tropic sun D Margaritas and the music, made it all seem fun C G C Am7/B Am He bought a piece of heaven on the Carribean seas G D G He's a happy little camper in Belize He began to build a condo, but the labor cost was high His partner stole his money, that left him high and dry His land is still a mudhole, where you sink up to your knees And he's just another gringo in Belize Chorus: C G He's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a sordid little schemer, D G Seems to think that money grows on trees C G He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's a pothead, he's a boozer, D G He's just another gringo in Belize Well he used to have a girlfriend that now he can't afford Since one of his investments got busted at the border He wasted all his money paying bribes and fines and fees And he's just another gringo in Belize Oh, he sold his motorcycle, somebody stole his boat They ran it on the reef and now the damn thing just won't float The only thing's that free is mud, mosquitos and the breeze And he's just another gringo in Belize Chorus Now he'll drink a beer for breakfast, he'll chase it with rum punch He's smoking up his dinner, he's a snorting up his lunch He's been wasted on the mainland, now he's stoned out in the Cayes And he's just another gringo in Belize Chorus He's just another gringo in Belize Sounds like a pretty good goddamned life to me Tabbed by Michael Shaw <[email protected]>
