Margaritaville  key: D 

D Dsus2 D G A  

D  
Nibblin' on sponge cake  
   
Watchin' the sun bake  
                                    A  
All those tourists covered with oil  

Strummin' my six-string  
   
On my front porch swing  
                                             D  
Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil   

  G         A        D  
Wasted away again in Margaritaville  

 G               A              D  
Searching for my lost shaker of salt 
  
G            A                   D A     G    
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame 
  
                              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 that brand new tattoo  
   
But it's a real beauty  
                         
A mexican cutie, how it got here  

            D  
I haven't a clue 
  
  G         A        D  
Wasted away again in Margaritaville  

 G               A              D  
Searching for my lost shaker of salt 
  
G            A                   D A     G    
Some people claim there's a woman to blame 
  
                              D  
But I know, hell it could be my fault  

(Instrumental -  D  A      G  A  D A G     A    D)  

D  
Old men in tanktops  

Cruising the giftshops  
                                   A    
Checkin' out Chiquitas down by the shore  

They dream about weightloss  

Wish they could be their own boss  
                                        D  
Those three day vacations become such a bore 

(Chorus) 

 D 
Young men in Speedos,  

trollin’ for bimbos 
                                            A 
Watchin’ those beach girls, All covered with oil. 

Just wishin’ in vain,  

sufferin’ from eye strain 

                                       D 
Eyein’ those girls, with their coconut oil. 

(Chorus) 

 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 
   
 G         A        D  
Wasted away again in Margaritaville  

 G               A              D  
Searching for my lost shaker of salt  

 G                               D A      G  
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame 
   
                            D  
But I know it's my own damn fault 
  
 G           A                     D A    G  
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame 
  
                        D                  
I know It's my own damn fault
