   Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake,
                                                 A
all of those tourists covered in oil,
strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing,
                       A7                                 D        D7
smell those shrimp, hey, they're beginnin' to boil.

G                  A                           D
    Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,
G                       A                     D      D7
    searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
G                          A                             D  A         G
    Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
A      A7                       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,
                  A7        D       D7
how it got here I haven't a clue.

G                  A                           D
    Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,
G                       A          D        D7
    searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
G                          A                             D  A         G
    Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
            A       A7                                 D
now I think,        it must be Buffetts fault.

    I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-top,
                                                                    A
broke my leg twice, I had to limp on back home,
but there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
                       A7                       D      D7
that frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

G                  A                           D
    Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,
G                       A        D      D7
    searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
G                          A                             D  A         G
    Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
A      A7                           D
but I know,        this is all Alans fault.

         G                          A                            D   A        G
Yes,     some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
   A    A7                                D A   D
but I know,       it's our own damn fault.
