Margaritaville

(intro) D A D

   Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake,
                                 A
all of those tourists covered in oil,
strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing,
              A7                      D       D7
smell those shrimp, hey, they're beginnin' to boil.

G             A                D
    Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,
G                 A              D     D7
    searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
G                 A                   D A      G
    Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
A     A7                   D
but I know,         it's nobody's fault.

D
    I don't know the reason, I stayed here all season,
                                      A
nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo,
but it's a real beautie, a Mexican cutie,
            A7      D     D7
how it got here I haven't a clue.

G             A                D
    Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,
G                 A        D     D7
    searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
G                 A                   D A      G
    Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
             A A7                         D
now I think,        it must be Buffett's fault.

    I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-top,
                                           A
broke my leg twice, I had to limp on back home,
but there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
               A7               D    D7
that frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

G             A                D
    Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,
G                 A      D    D7
    searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.

    Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
A     A7                      D
but I know,        this is all Alan's fault.

      G                 A                  D  A     G
Yes,     some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
 A     A7                       D A  D
but I know,       it's our own damn fault.
