C
                Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake
                                                  G
                All of those tourist covered with oil

                Strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing
                                                         C
                Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil

[Chorus]
                F        G                 C           G
                Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
                F                G              C      G
                Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
                F           G                    C G      F
                Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
                      G                  C
                But I know it's nobody's fault

[Verse 2]
                C
                I don't know the reason, I stayed here all season
                                                   G
                Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo

                But it's a real beautie, a Mexican cutie
                                                C
                But how it got here I haven't a clue

[Chorus]
                F       G                 C           G
                Wasted away again in Margaritaville
                F                G              C     G
                Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
                F           G                    C G      F
                Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
                      G                C         C
                Now I think, Hell it could be my fault

[Verse 3]
                C
                I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-top
                                                   G
                Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home

                But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
                                                          C
                That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

[Chorus]
                F        G                 C           G
                Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
                F                G              C      G
                Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
                F           G                    C G      F
                Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
                      G                     C
                But I know it's my own damn fault
                         F           G                    C G      F
                Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
                      G                     C
                And I know it's my own damn fault
