Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
Bb majorBb

[Verse 1]
Bb majorBb
Well he came down on vacation, 'cause he liked the tropic sun
             FF
Margaritas and the music, made it all seem fun
  D#D#               Bb majorBb    C minorCm
He bought a piece of heaven on the Carribean seas
    Bb majorBb      FF     Bb majorBb
He's a happy little camper in Belize
Bb majorBb
He began to build a condo, but the labor cost was high
                 FF
His partner stole his money, that left him high and dry
  D#D#                 Bb majorBb       C minorCm
His land is still a mudhole, where you sink up to your knees
     Bb majorBb      FF     Bb majorBb
And he's just another gringo in Belize

[Chorus]
D#D#                   Bb majorBb
He's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a sordid little schemer,
FF                 Bb majorBb
Seems to think that money grows on trees
D#D#                 Bb majorBb
He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's a pothead, he's a boozer,
   FF           Bb majorBb
He's just another gringo in Belize

[Verse 2]
Bb majorBb
Well he used to have a girlfriend that now he can't afford
                 FF
Since one of his investments got busted at the border
  D#D#             Bb majorBb          C minorCm
He wasted all his money paying bribes and fines and fees
     FF           Bb majorBb
And he's just another gringo in Belize
Bb majorBb
So he sold his motorcycle, somebody stole his boat
                  FF
They ran it on the reef and now the damn thing just won't float
  D#D#               Bb majorBb         C minorCm
The only thing's that free is mud, mosquitoes and the breeze
     FF           Bb majorBb
And he's just another gringo in Belize

[Chorus]
D#D#                   Bb majorBb
He's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a sordid little schemer,
FF                 Bb majorBb
Seems to think that money grows on trees
D#D#                 Bb majorBb
He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's a pothead, he's a boozer,
   FF           Bb majorBb
He's just another gringo in Belize

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Bb majorBb
Now he'll drink a beer for breakfast, he'll chase it with rum punch
                  FF
He's smoking up his dinner, he's a snorting up his lunch
     D#D#                Bb majorBb        C minorCm
He's been wasted on the mainland, now he's stoned out in the Cayes
     FF           Bb majorBb
And he's just another gringo in Belize

[Chorus]
D#D#                   Bb majorBb
He's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a sordid little schemer,
FF                 Bb majorBb
Seems to think that money grows on trees
D#D#                 Bb majorBb
He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's a pothead, he's a boozer,
   FF           Bb majorBb
He's just another gringo in Belize
   FF           Bb majorBb
He's just another gringo in Belize
