[A] [B] [D] [G]
[C] [G] [D] [G]
Down to the Banana Republic, [Am] down to the tropical sun,
Americans, [G] inspecting the haves and fun.
Some of them come for the sailing, [Am] drawn by delirium to see,
[D] To cure the spirit that's ailing, [G] from living in the land of the free.
Some of them are running from lovers, [Am] leaving no forward address.
[D] Some of them are running marijuana, [G] some are running from the IRS.

[A] _ [B] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ Down to the Banana Republic, _ _ [Am] down to the tropical sun,
Come [D] the _ expatriated _ Americans, [G] _ inspecting the haves and fun.
_ _ Some of them come for the sailing, _ _ [Am] drawn by delirium to see,
_ [D] To cure the spirit that's ailing, [G] from living in the land of the free.
_ _ Some of them are running from lovers, _ _ [Am] leaving no forward address.
_ _ [D] Some of them are running marijuana, _ [G] some are running from the IRS. _
_ [Dm] And late at night you will see them, [Am] in the cheap hotels and _ bars,
[D] Hustling the _ [G] señoritas [C] as they [G] dance [D] beneath [G] the sun. _
_ _ [Dm] Spending their renegade days on, on [Eb] a bottle of rum [D] and a lime,
Singing with me some words [G] I can [C] dance to, [G] and a [D] melody [G] that rhymes. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ Once you learn the native customs, _ _ [Am] and a word of Spanish or two,
_ [D] Then you know you can't trust them, because [G] they know they can't trust you.
_ _ Down in Banana Republic, _ _ [Am] it is not always as warm as it _ seems,
[D] When none of the natives are buying _ [G] any second-hand American greens.
_ _ _ _ Expatriated Americans _ [Am] are feeling so all _ _ alone,
[D] Telling themselves the same lies [G] that they told themselves at _ home.
[Dm] And late at night you will see them, [Am] in the cheap hotels and _ bars,
[D] Hustling the [G] _ señoritas [C] as they [G] dance [D] beneath the [G] sun. _
_ _ [Dm] Spending their renegade days on, [Eb] on a bottle of rum [D] and a lime,
Singing with me some words [G] I can dance [C] to, [G] and a [Dm] melody that [G] rhymes. _
_ _ Down to the Banana Republic, _
_ _ [Am] down to the tropical sun,
[D] Come the _ _ expatriated America, _ _ [G] expecting to have some fun.
