Lyrics:
Jimmy Buffett - Margaritaville Guitar Tutorial

Verse #1:

D
Nibblin' on sponge cake,

watchin' the sun bake;
                                                            A
All of those tourists covered with oil.

Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing.

Smell those shrimp
                                   D   D7
They're beginnin' to boil.

Chorus #1:

G          A                     D                     D7
Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
G                           A                       D         D7
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.

Verse #2:

D
Don't know the reason,

Stayed here all season
                                                                         A
With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo.

But it's a real beauty,

A Mexican cutie, how it got here
                   D          D7
I haven't a clue.

Chorus #2:

G            A                       D                     D7
Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
G                          A                        D         D7
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
G                      A                                D      A       G
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,

           A                                            D
Now I think, - heck it could be my fault.

Verse #3:

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        D7
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

Chorus #3:

G            A                                  D                     D7
Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
G                           A                       D         D7
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
G                      A                                 D     A       G
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
           A                                       D
And I know it's my own d%$# fault.
