Strumming pattern: down down up up down


D
Nibblin on sponge cake

Watchin the sun bake
                                   A
All of those tourists 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
Wastin away again in margaritaville
G                A              D
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
G           A                    D        G
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
      G                 A            
But I know it's nobodys 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 beauty

A mexican cutie
                            D
How it got here I haven't a clue

CHORUS:
G           A             D
Wastin away again in margaritaville
G                A              D
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
G           A                    D        G
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
      G                 A            
But I know it's nobodys fault

(REPEAT INTRO)

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

CHORUS:
G           A             D
Wastin away again in margaritaville
G                A              D
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
G           A                    D        G
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
      G                 A            
But I know it's nobodys fault

        G           A                    D        G
Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
      G                     A              
And I know it's my own damn fault

(REPEAT INTRO)
