Margaritaville Alan Jackson
"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]Wastin' [A]away again in Marg[D]aritaville
[G]Searching for my[A] lost shaker of [D]sal[D7]t
[G]Some people [A]claim that there's a [D-A]woman to [G]blame
But I [A]know [G] it's nobody's f[D]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 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)
some people [A]claim that there's a [D]wo-[A]man to [G]blame
And I [A]know [G]it's my own damned [D]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
