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
