Margaritaville

written by Jimmy Buffett   Tabber’s comment - The version as recorded by Allan Jackson uses a tuning   but this works as well.  This is transposed in standard tuning.  The "D"    tuning is neat beacause you use all open strings and can play lead against the    droaning open bass strings.  Enjoy and try it in tunings too.   Nibblin’ on sponge cake   Watchin’ the sun bake                  All of those tourists covered with oil   Strummin’ my six-string   On my front porch swing?                          Smell those shrimp they’re beginnin’ to boil.   Wasted 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 nobody’s fault.   I don’t know the reason   I stayed here all season   Nothin’ to show but this brand new tattoo   But it’s a real beauty   A Mexican cutie.   How it got here I haven’t a clue.        Wasted away again in Margaritaville        Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt.        Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame.        Now I think         Hell it could be my fault.    Solo (based on verse chords and Chorus triads in & )   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.        Wasted 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 damned fault.    Coda:   Yes and      some people claim that there’s a  woman to blame   And I know  it’s my own damned  Fault.   Other lyrics:   Old men in tank tops    Cruisin’ the gift shops    Checkin’ out chiquitas down by the shore.    They dream about weight loss    Wish they could be their own boss.   Those three day vacations become such a bore .
