Margaritaville

(Jimmy Buffet)

                C
                Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake
                                                  G
                All of those tourist covered with oil

                Strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing
                                                        C
                Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil

                F        G                 C            G
        CHORUS: Wastin' away again in Margarita-ville
                F                G              C      G
                Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
                F           G                    C G      F
                Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
                      G                  C
                But I know it's nobody's fault

                C
                I don't know the reason, I stayed here all season
                                                   G
                Nothin' to show but this brand new tatoo

                But it's a real beautie, a Mexican cutie
                                                C
                But how it got here I haven't a clue


                CHORUS

                C
                I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-top
                                                  G
                Cut my heel had to cruise on back home

                But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
                                                         C
                That frozen concotion that helps me hang on


                CHORUS

                F           G                  C G      F
                Some people say that there's a woman to blame
                      G                     C
                But I know it's my own damn fault
