Gringo In Belize by Jerry Jeff Walker
Gringo In Belize
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
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 Bb Cm
He bought a piece of heaven on the 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
F
His partner stole his money, that left him high and dry
Eb Bb Cm
His land is still a mudhole, where you sink up to your knees
Bb F Bb
And he's just another gringo in Belize
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
He's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a sordid little schemer,
F Bb
Seems to think that money grows on trees
Eb Bb
He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's 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
F
Since one of his investments got busted at the border
Eb Bb Cm
He wasted all his money paying bribes and fines and fees
F Bb
And he's just another gringo in Belize
Bb
So he sold his motorcycle, somebody stole his boat
F
They ran it on the reef and now the damn thing just won't float
Eb Bb Cm
The only thing's that free is mud, mosquitoes and the breeze
F Bb
And he's just another gringo in Belize
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
He's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a sordid little schemer,
F Bb
Seems to think that money grows on trees
Eb Bb
He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's a pothead, he's a boozer,
F Bb
He's just another gringo in Belize
[Instrumental]
Bb F Eb Bb Cm F Bb
[Verse 3]
Bb
Now he'll drink a beer for breakfast, he'll chase it with rum punch
F
He's smoking up his dinner, he's a snorting up his lunch
Eb Bb Cm
He's been wasted on the mainland, now he's stoned out in the Cayes
F Bb
And he's just another gringo in Belize
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
He's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a sordid little schemer,
F Bb
Seems to think that money grows on trees
Eb Bb
He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's 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 Bb
Sounds like a pretty good goddamned life to me
