   Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake 
                                   A 
All of those tourists covered with oil 
A 
   Strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing 
                                       D     D7 
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil

   Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,        searchin' for my lost shaker of salt 
G              A                    D   A/C#  G           A                   D 
   Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know, it's nobody's fault

   Don't know the reason, I stayed here all season 
                                      A 
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo 
A 
   But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie 
                            D     D7 
How it got here I haven't a clue
[Estribillo]
G           A                  D        D7   G                 A                D     D7 
   Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,        searchin' for my lost shaker of salt 
G              A                    D   A/C#  G           A                          D 
   Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, now I think, hell it could be my fault

   I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top 
                                  A 
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home 
A 
   But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render 
                                        D     D7 
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

   Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know, it's my own damn fault

Yes and,   some people claim that there's a woman to blame, and I know, it's my own damn fault
