Margaritaville chords
Start Jamming...
[A] [D]
nibbling on sponge cake, watching the sun bake
all of those tourists [A] covered with oil
strumming my six string on my front porch swing
smell those shrimp they're [D] beginning to boil
[G] [A] wasting away [D] again in Margaritaville
[G] searching [A] for my lost [D] shaker of salt
[G] some [A] people claim that there's a wonder [G] in the place
[A] but I know it's [D] nobody's fault
don't know the reason, stayed here all season
nothing to show but this [A] brand new tattoo
but it's a real beauty, I'm Mexican cutie
highway got here I [D] haven't a clue
[G] [A] wasting away [D] again in Margaritaville
[G] searching [A] for my lost [D] shaker of salt
[G] some [A] people claim that there's a [G] woman to blame
[A] now I think, hell it [D] could be my fault
I
[A]
[G] [A]
[G] [A] [D]
blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-top
cut my heel, had to [A] cruise on back home
but there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
that frozen concoction that helps [D] me hang on
[G] wasting [A] away again [D] in Margaritaville
[G] searching for [A] my lost [D] shaker of salt
[G] some [A] people claim that there's a woman [G] to blame
[A] but I know it's my own [D] damn fault
yes [G] sir, some [A] people claim that there's [D] a woman [G] to blame
[E] but I know [A] it's my own [D] damn fault
