D                       
Nibblin' on sponge cake

Watchin' the sun bake
             Dsus4  D                 A Asus4 A(add9) A
All of those tour---ists covered with oil
                        A Asus4 A(add9) A
Strummin' my six-string
                       A Asus4 A(add9) A
On my front porch swing
                                         
Smell those shrimp

   Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
   G               A               D    Dsu4 D7 
   Searching for my lost shaker of salt
   G           A                    D  A/C#       G 
   Some people claim that there's a wo-man to blame

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

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

(lost verse)
Old men in tank tops
Cruisin’ the gift shops
Checkin’ out chiquitas down by the shore
They dream about weight loss
Wish they could be their own boss
Those three day vacations become such a bore

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Broke my leg twice had to limp on back home
God I still feel pain
Wish I had some cocaine
But that’s been gone since early this morn’

Chorus:
     Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
     Searching for my lost shaker of salt
     Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
     But I know 
     It's my own damned fault 

Coda:
D7      G                  A                    D  A      G 
Yes and,  some people claim that there's a wo-man to blame
      A     A/C# A                        D  G A D A D          
And I know         it's my own damned fault
