Margaritaville
Jimmy Buffett

Jimmy Buffett
Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes
1977

Perhaps some will think it cheesy, but here it is
anyway.  It's a really fun, chillin' song, and it is
perhaps Buffett's most popular song, but an acoustic
song nonetheless.  Hope you Parrotheads enjoy it!

Chords

INTRO:	D

D
Nibblin' on sponge cake watchin' the sun bake
                                   A    Asus4  A
All of those tourists covered with oil
(A)
Strummin' my six-string on my front porch swing
                                        D     Dsus4   D
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil

Dsus2  D  (fast)

CHORUS
G           A                 D         Dsus4  D       Dsus2  D
   Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
G                  A                D       Dsus4  D       Dsus2  D
   Searching for my lost shaker of salt
G              A                    D  A     G
   Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
      A                    D
But I know it's nobody's fault


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

SOLO

G	A	D  A  G
A		D


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

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

End on D
