[Verse]
C
   Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake
                                   G
All of those tourists covered with oil
G
   Strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing
                                       C     C7
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil
 
{ CHORUS }
F           G                  C        C7   F                 G                C     C7
   Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,        searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
F              G                    C   G/B  F           G                   C
   Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know, it's nobody's fault
 
[Verse]
C
   Don't know the reason, I stayed here all season
                                      G
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
G
   But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie
                            C     C7
How it got here I haven't a clue
 
{ CHORUS }
F           G                  C        C7   F                 G                C     C7
   Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,        searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
F              G                    C   G/B  F           G                          C
   Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, now I think, hell it could be my fault

[Verse]
C
   I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top
                                  G
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
G
   But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
                                        C     C7
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
 
{ CHORUS }
F           G                  C        C7   F                 G                C     C7
   Wastin' away again in Margaritaville,        searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
F              G                    C   G/B   F          G                      C    C7
   Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know, it's my own damn fault
         F             G                    C   G/B  F           G                      C
Yes and,   some people claim that there's a woman to blame, and I know, it's my own damn fault
