Intro:  D  G  A7 D

D      
Nibblin' on sponge cake Watchin' the sun bake                                
D                                  A
All of those tourists covered with oil
A7
Strummin' my six-string On my front porch swing                                       
A7                                       D
Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil


Chorus:
G        A                 D
Wastin' 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
          A7                  D
But I know it's nobody's fault


D
I don't know the reason I stayed here all season
D                                     A
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
A7
But it's a real beauty a Mexican cutie
A7                          D
How it got here I haven't a clue

(Chorus)
           A7                     D
Now I think hell, it could be my fault 


Solo: D   A   G  A  D A G   A7   D

D
I blew out my flip-flop Stepped on a pop-top
D                                 A
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
A7
But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render
A7                                        D
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

(Chorus)
          A7                  D
But I know It's my own damned fault 
        G              A                  D A      G
Yes and  some people claim that there's a woman to blame
          A7                  D
But I know it's my own damned fault 

Outro: D  G  A7  D
