Banana Republics Jimmy Buffett
D[G]own to the Banana Republics, [Am]down to the tropical sun
Go the[D7] expatriated Americans, [G]hopin' to find some fun
S[G]ome of them go for the sailing, [Am]caught by the lure of the sea
[D7]Tryin' to find what is ailing, [G]livin' in the land of the free
S[G]ome of them are running from lovers, [Am]leaving no forward address
[D7]Some of them are running tons of ganja
some are[G] running from the I.R.S
[Dm]Late at night you will find them
In the[Am] cheap hotels and bars
H[C]ustling the senio[G]ritas [C]while they[G] dance be[D]neath the [G]stars
Spen[Dm]ding those renegade pesos on a [Eb]bottle of rum and a [D]lime
Si[C]ngin' give me some words I can [G]dance to
[C]Or a m[G]el - o[D7]dy that [G]rhymes
F[G]irst you learn the native customs
S[Am]oon a word of spanish or two
[D7]You know that you cannot trust them
'c[G]ause they know they can't trust you
E[G]xpatriated Americans, f[Am]eelin' so all alone
[D7]Telling themselves the same lies
T[G]hat they told themselves back home
(solo) -play - G Am D G - Dm Am C G C G
D[G]own to the Banana Republics
T[Am]hings aren't as warm as they seem
[D7]None of the natives are buying any
[G]Second-hand American dreams
(repeat chorus)
D[G]own to the Banana Republics
D[Am]own to the tropical sun
[D7]Go the expatriated Americans
H[G]opin' to find some fun
(repeat chords and fade)
