Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with

Strummin' my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to

ault
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)
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,

some people
A
claim that there's a

wo-
A
man to

blame
And I

know

it's my own damned

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"
