MARGARITAVILLE
By Jimmy Buffett
Key: D
-7 -7 -7 7 -7
Nib-lin' on sponge cake
-7 -7 -7 7 -6*
Watch-in' the sun bake
-7 -7 -7 -8 -7 -7 7 -6* 7-7
All of these tour-ists cov-ered with oil
7 7 7 -6* 7
Strum-min' my six string
7 7 7 -6* 7
On my front porch swing
-7 -7 -8 -7 -7 -7 7 7 7-6*-5
Smell those shrimp they're be-gin-nin' to boil
Chorus:
-8 -8 -7 -7 7 7 -6* 7 -6* 7-6* -5
Wast-in' a-way a-gain in Mar-ga-ri-ta-ville
-8 -8 -8-8-7 -7 -7 -8 -7 -7-6*
Search-ing for my lost shak-er of salt
-8 -8 -8 8* -7 -8
Some peo-ple claim that there's
8*-9-7-6*-6* 7
a wom-an to blame
7 7 -3 7 7 -6* -5 -5
But I know it’s no-bod-y’s fault
I don't know the reason
I stayed here all season
With nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
Oh those Atlanta cuties
Over the years well I have met me a few
"And they've been so good to me."
Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now you really think I'm gonna admit this is my fault
Ha
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
I broke my leg twice I had to limp on back home
But there's booze in the blender
Soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
(hang on, hang on, hang on)
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville (yes I am, yes I am)
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
"Let's admit it boys"
Yes, some people claim that there's a woman to blame
There always is and I know
It's my own damn fault
My damn fault
Hell, it could be my fault."
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
