Gringo In Belize chords by Jerry Jeff Walker

[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
  D#               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
  D#                 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]
D#                   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
D#                 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
  D#             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
  D#               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]
D#                   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
D#                 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]

[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
     D#                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]
D#                   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
D#                 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
