Verses:
Dsus D
1. Nibblin’ on spongcake, watchin’ the sun bake;
2. I don’t know the reason, I stayed here all season
3. I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop top;
Dsus A
all of those tourists covered with oil.
with nothing to show but this brand-new tatoo.
cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.
Strummin’ my six string, on the front porch swing.
But it’s a real beauty, a Mexican cutie,
But there’s booze in the blender, and soon it will render
D Dsus D D7 G
Smell those shrimp; they’re beginning to boil.
But how it got here I haven’t a clue.

CHORUS:
A D Dsus D7 G A
Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville, searchin’ for my
D Dsus D7 G A
lost shaker of salt. Some people claim that there’s a
D A/C# G/B
woman to blame,
A D
but I know it’s nobody’s fault.
now I think, hell, it could be my fault.
but I know it’s my own damn fault.
