[Intro]
Bb
[Verse 1]
BbWell he came down on vacation, 'cause he liked the tropic sun
Margaritas and the music, Fmade it all seem fun
He Ebbought a piece of heaven on the BbCarribean Cmseas
He's a Bbhappy little Fcamper in BbBelize
BbHe began to build a condo, but the labor cost was high
His partner stole his money, that Fleft him high and dry
His Ebland is still a mudhole, where you Bbsink up to your Cmknees
And he's Bbjust another Fgringo in BbBelize
[Chorus]
EbHe's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a Bbsordid little schemer,
FSeems to think that money grows on Bbtrees
EbHe's a whiner, he's a loser, he's a Bbpothead, he's a boozer,
He's Fjust another gringo in BbBelize
[Verse 2]
BbWell he used to have a girlfriend that now he can't afford
Since one of his investments got Fbusted at the border
He Ebwasted all his money paying Bbbribes and fines and Cmfees
And he's Fjust another gringo in BbBelize
BbSo he sold his motorcycle, somebody stole his boat
They ran it on the reef and now the Fdamn thing just won't float
The Ebonly thing's that free is mud, Bbmosquitoes and the Cmbreeze
And he's Fjust another gringo in BbBelize
[Chorus]
EbHe's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a Bbsordid little schemer,
FSeems to think that money grows on Bbtrees
EbHe's a whiner, he's a loser, he's a Bbpothead, he's a boozer,
He's Fjust another gringo in BbBelize
[Instrumental]
Bb F Eb Bb Cm F Bb
[Verse 3]
BbNow he'll drink a beer for breakfast, he'll chase it with rum punch
He's smoking up his dinner, he's a Fsnorting up his lunch
He's been Ebwasted on the mainland, now he's Bbstoned out in the CmCayes
And he's Fjust another gringo in BbBelize
[Chorus]
EbHe's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a Bbsordid little schemer,
FSeems to think that money grows on Bbtrees
EbHe's a whiner, he's a loser, he's a Bbpothead, he's a boozer,
He's Fjust another gringo in BbBelize
He's Fjust another gringo in BbBelize
FSounds like a pretty good goddamned life to Bbme

He bought a piece of heaven on the Carribean seas

Bb F Bb

He's a happy little camper in Belize

He began to build a condo, but the labor cost was high

His partner stole his money, that left him high and dry

His land is still a mudhole, where you sink up to your knees

Well he used to have a girlfriend that now he can't afford

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

So he sold his motorcycle, somebody stole his boat

They ran it on the reef and now the damn thing just won't float

The only thing's that free is mud, mosquitoes and the breeze

F Bb

And he's just another gringo in Belize
