[Start]

[Intro]
D G D              
■ ■ ■ Are you ready


[Verse]
            D          
Nibblin' on sponge cake
             D       
Watchin' the sun bake
                                    A  
All of you Parrotheads covered with oil
                 A7             A
And feathers and signs and pins ■
             A7                                
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing
                                            D   
Smell those shrimp hey they're beginnin' to boil
              D            
Bubble bubble bubble bubble


[Chorus]
G A                     D             
■ Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Em7 G             A       A7   A             
■   Searchin' for my long lost shaker of salt
D             
Salt salt salt
G             A                    D              G
■ Some people claim that there's a woman to blame ■
      A7                      D    
And I know this is somebody's fault


[Verse]
                 D     
I don't know the reason
                D     
Stayed here all season
                                        A     
With nothing to show but that brand new tattoo
Em7         A7   
Hell yes it hurts
A               A7    
But it's a real beauty
                          A7             
Oh I think she might be a Nantucket cutie
                        A       
Or maybe she's from the Vineyard
                D   
I haven't got a clue


[Chorus]
Em7 G A                     D             
■   ■ Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Em7 G               A                 D   
■   ■ Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
               G
Salt salt salt ■
            A                    D        G    
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
  G              
I agree with that
      A7                        D    
And I know it's all you women's fault
       D   
Coming soon

[Verse]
           D        
Old men in tank tops
             D         
Cruisin' the gift shops
D             
The lost verse
                                   A    
Checkin' out chiquitas down by the shore
  Esus4             A  
I found 'em I found 'em
                 A             
They dream about weight loss oh
                         A7      
Wish they could be their own boss
                          A             D   
Those three day vacations become such a bore
              D        
I blew out my flip flop
             D      
Stepped on a pop top
                                      A         E7 A7
I broke my leg twice I had to limp on back home ■  ■ 


[Chorus]
                         A7     
But there's booze in the blender
    A         A7         
And ■ soon it will render
                                          D 
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
                     G 
Hang on hang on hang on
A                     D             
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
                  D             
That's where this ship is headed
G               A  A7             D   
■ Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
               G
Salt salt salt ■
            A                    D        G    
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
      A7                    D    
But I know it's my own damn fault
                               G   
That's what the therapist said hell
            A                    D             
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
G                
They're always in
      A7                    D    
And I know it's my own damn fault
