Intro - D G A D
(D)Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with(A)oil
Strummin' my six-string on my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to(D)boil(D7)
(G)Wastin'(A)away again in Marga(D)ritaville(D7)
(G)Searching for my(A)lost shaker of(D)salt(D7)
(G)Some people(A)claim that there's a(D)wom(G)an to(G) blame
But I(A)know it's nobody's(D)fault
(D)I don't know the reason I stayed here all season
Nothin' to show but this brand new(A)tattoo
But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a(D)clue(D7)
(G)Wastin'(A)away again in Margaritaville
(G)Searchin' for my(A)lost shaker of salt
(G)Some people(A)claim that there's a(D)wom(G)an to(G) blame
Now I(A)think, "Hell, it could be my(D)fault."
Instrumental
(D)I blew out my flip-flop. Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own d*** fault
Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own d*** fault
