Chorus:
 G                  C                                  G
Hey come away to Belize with me, show you how simple life can be
G         C                         Am                   G
Long hazy days in the sun, where it seems everyone has a smile when we meet
G                   C                                  G
Under blue skys and emerald seas, warm winds and those coconut trees
              C                   Am               D         G
They say your heart never leaves, once you've been down to Belize


   G             G                                 D                                     
In daylight the sunlight chases the grey lights of lingering night
D                                              G
Down by the beach a lone hare and he keeps his eye on the fish in the tide
G                             G                     C                          Am
But I hear the boats, of the fisherman going to the flats where the bonefishes run
        G            G           D           D          C                D          G
And the folks of San Pedro, all driving the same road, start their long day in the sun

Chorus

So, let's get a boat, and some snorkels and go on out to the reef
We'll leave the fat folks, who wear shoes and white socks with cameras back on the beach
There's no pain or sorrow, down by the coral and Susan and Brownie and me
And we'll fish by the reef, for some snappers to eat, as we race the ray back to the beach

Chorus

So at sunset we'll go sit, way out on the old deck, till the pink light is gone
From a funky old bar, I can hear a guitar playing, playing a down island song
The moon on the water, the pina colada, something you just gotta see
And that's when you start to notice your heart, has fallen in love with Belize

Chorus
