Chords for Kelly McGuire - Belize Oct. 2017 - Boat In Belize

You may wonder how [C#] I ended up down here in Belize.
I know we've got a lot of people here that are
[G] guests of Captain Morgan's and don't know a hoot [B] about us.
So we'll tell you, we've been telling
you a little [D] bit about us and our songs but this [B] is my story about how I ended up down here.
I got a call one day in Houston from a guy that [C#] was entertainment director at Fido's and he found
me on some award music website and well you know what _ awards Larry [B] Joe Taylor says about awards
they don't mean crap _ unless you [N] win one.
_ Anyway he had found me on some country music website and
_ [A] called me about coming down [A#] here to play and I didn't know where Belize [B] was but next thing you
know I was getting off of a plane my bags were sitting in the sand I was getting on [D#] a golf cart
headed down the island.
[N] No paved streets man that was pretty cool but the best thing was
he was a great promoter every [A#] telephone pole all the way [B] down to Royal [G#m] Palm had my picture on it
[D#] and a big poster.
[G] So that was my [C] start here in San Pedro [F#] and on the last day here I was sitting on
the beach making [Bm] some notes [G#] and I'd met a guy from Colorado that had a catamaran and charter down here
behind what was BC's bar [C#] a little pier and his boat while he sat at that little thatched [F] bar
his boat was a coconut [C#] spall from the bar you get the image [G] there. _
_ So I started this song on the
beach and finished it on the way back to Houston kept coming back to Belize writing more songs _
released my third CD entitled _ Boat in Belize which I'm proud to say won album of the year at
the Texas Music Awards back in 2008. _ _
_ He sits at the bar while he's waiting for charters he's up at [D] the
crack of noon _ _ at night he's a fetus [G] dancing with ladies [C] he's a strikingly [G] handsome dude _
you know him much better said his ex-wife a letter [D] said there won't be any alimony soon
_ I've been captured by natives of a third world country [C] under a Central [G] _ American man he's [C] got a boat.
_ _ Dr.
San [G] Pedro coconut fall from the bar he's got [C] his vacuum beach on his favorite bar [D] stool
he don't have to stumble too far _ _ he plies [C] his trade in the islands diving and [G] trying to forget
what he [Em] left far behind he's just [C] what he sees he's [D] living his dream down [G] in Belize.
_ _ _ Well now the turquoise waters tickled by palm trees [D] blowing in the tropical breeze _
barbecue Sundays Bruce on the barbie [C] the lava bar down at _ [E] BC's
we're [G]
expats and islanders sailors and pirates and [D] divers and those with a scan
_ _ and tourists that meet him like me want to be him [C] and we're trying to come [A] up with a plan
