D (6)

Nibblin’ on sponge cake
Watchin’ the sun bake

                                                A (8)
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin’ my six-string
On my front porch swing

                                                          D     D7
Smell those shrimp they’re beginnin’ to boil

Chorus:

G             A                         D         D7
Wastin’ away again in margaritaville

Searching for my lost shaker of salt

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

Some people claim that there’s a wo  -  man to blame

           A (2)                       
now I think

                             D (2)

Hell, it could be my fault

 

D (6)
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top

                                                    A (8)
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there’s booze in the blender
And soon it will render

                                                               D   D7
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
