Alan Jackson - Margaritaville Chords

"Margaritaville - 
    written by Jimmy Buffett  & as performed by Alan Jackson

 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.


D
Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake               A
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six-string
On my front porch swing                  D  D7    
Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil

Chorus:
G       A                 D
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
G               A               D  D7 
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
G           A                    D-A      G
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
       A      G                 D
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

Chorus:
     Wastin' 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 A-D & G)

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

Chorus:
     Wastin' 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,(G)  
            A                     D  A      G
some people claim that there's a  wo-man to blame
      A     G                   D
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
