[Intro] D D D D E A A D [Verse]
D
Somebody asked me if I thought I could be

D
Happy living all my days down in Belize

       Em               A
And I thought why not

A          D
I always like it hot

D
So I started listing reasons why I like it there

D
Sunny days of fishing in the salty air

          Em             A
And the stars at night

A               D
There ain't no ambient light

    A
The good life gives you what you need

                         D
And I believe happiness counts a lot

          A
The say successful men get what they want

                    D
Happy men want just what they got

        Em                     A
And the good life for me comes naturally

D
Down in Belize
[Instrumental] Em A A D
D
Ya the island where we live is small and intertwined
They got their own pace they call it island time
              Em           A
When they say right away

             D
The just may not mean today

          Am
They say what's your hurry man don't worry

                    G
Don't you know San Pedro days go slow

    E7
The island life will get you

E7
Pretty soon it sets you

A                         A7
Down into a slower mode

Em                            A  (hold)
That's when all your tensions go
[Instrumental] D D Em A D D D Em A D
D
I say the mode of dress is flip-flops and an old t-shirt

D
Cut-offs, straw hat, sunglasses won't hurt

             Em           A
Cause it's a sunny day

          D
I always like it that way

D
People are all friendly oh they love themselves

D
When they get into trouble they help each other out

          Em             A
It's the Christian way

          D
I always like it that way

          A
Yeah the good life gives you what you need

                         D
And I believe happiness counts a lot

      A
Successful men get what they want

                    D
Happy men want just what they got

        Em                     A  (hold)
And the good life for me comes naturally

  D
Down in Belize

Em             A
Doo doo, doo, doo doo, doo

Em             D
Doo doo, doo doooooo

Em             A
Doo doo, doo, doo doo, doo

A             D
Doo doo, doo doooooo
