Magarittaville: Jimmy Buffet                                                       #  07 - 1
 
D 
Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake,
                                                     A 
All these tourists covered with oil,
 
Strumming my six string, on my front porch swing,
                                                                D 
Smell of shrimp they're beginning to boil.
CHORUS
 
G            A                     D            
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
G                          A                     D       
Searhing 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 could be my fault.
 
D
Don't know the reason, I stayed here all season,
                                                                       A
With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
 
But it's a real beauty, a mexican cutie,
                                               D
How it got here I haven't a clue.
 
CHORUS
 
D
Blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-top
                                                              A
I cut my heel; had to cruise on back home
 
But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render,
                                                                           D
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.
 
CHORUS
 
G            A                     D            
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
G                            A                      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 could be my fault.
