Jerry Jeff Walker – Gringo In Belize (Guitar)

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

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

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

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

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

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
