Intro: D A D
A.J.
D
Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake
A
All of those tourist covered with oil
Strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing
D
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil
CHORUS
G A D
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
G A D
Searchin' 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
D
I don't know the reason, I stayed here all season
A
Nothin' to show but this brand new tatoo
But it's a real beautie, a Mexican cutie
D
But how it got here I haven't a clue
CHORUS
Last line in 2nd chorus:
Now I think, it must be Buffetts’ fault
>
J.B.
D
I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-top
A
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
D
That frozen concotion that helps me hang on
CHORUS
Last line in third chorus:
But I know, this is all Alan’s fault
>
Both:
G A D A G
Some people say that there's a woman to blame
A D
But I know it's our own damn faults
Outro: D A D
