Margaritaville



MARGARITAVILLE         (Jimmy Buffet)


    D
Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake
                                   A
All of those tourist covered with oil
Strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing
                                           D
Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil

[Chorus]
G          A               D           A
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
  G                A              D    A
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
 G            A                   D A       G
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
        A                  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
                                  D
But how it got here I haven't a clue

    D
I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-top
                                      A
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
                                           D
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
