Wastin away again in Margaritaville, searchin for my lost shaker of salt.

G A D A G A

Some peolple claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know, it's nobody's

brand new tattoo. But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie, how it got here

D D7

Wastin away again in Margaritaville, searchin for my lost shaker of salt.

G A D A G A

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, now I think, hell it could

D

be my fault.

I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top, cut my heal had to cruise on

A

back home. But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render, that

D D7

frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

G A D D7 G A D D7

Wastin away again in Margaritaville, searchin for my lost shaker of salt.

G A D A G A

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know, it's my own

D D7 G A D A G

damn fault. Yes and, some people claim that there's a woman to blame, and

A D

I know, it's my own damn fault.

Nibblin on sponge cake, watchin the sun bake, all of those tourist covered

A A7

D D7

shrimp they're beginnin' to boil.

G A D D7 G A D D7

Wastin away again in Margaritaville, searchin for my lost shaker of salt.

Some peolple claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know, it's nobody's

A D/E A

There's something in the way she moves,



Em D G A

Or looks my way, or calls my name,



Em G C D (*)

That seems to leave this troubled world behind.



A D/E A

And if I'm feeling down and blue,



Em D G A

Or troubled by some foolish game,



Em G C A

She always seems to make me change my mind.



Chorus:

A Em D A

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,



F#m

She's around me now



Bm7 Bm7/E

Just about all the time



A Em D A

And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,



F#m Bm7 Bm7/E

She's been with me now quite a long, long time



A G D A

And I feel fine.___________



D C(add 9) G6/B C9 D

Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning



G6/B C9 D

And I find myself careening



C9 G6/B Em7 A7

Into places where I should not let me go.



D C9 G6/B C9 D

-- She has the power to go where no one else can find me



G6/B C9 D

And to silently remind me



G6/B D A Bm7 Bm7/E

Of the happiness and the good times that I know, got to know.

Tin Cup Chalice

===============

[Words and Music by Jimmy Buffett]

((c) 1976, Let It Be There Music, Inc.)



Intro: G C G G C G



G C G

I want to go back to the island,

C D G

where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin'.

Em

Give me oysters and beer

A7 D

for dinner every day of the year and I'll feel fine.

D7

I'll feel fine.



Chorus:

C D G

'Cause I want to be there,

C D Em

I want to go back down and lie beside the sea there.

C G B7 Em

With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine,

A7 D G C G

and I'm a' chewin', on a honey-suckle vine.



2.

Yeah, now, the sun goes slidin' 'cross the water;

Sailboats, they go searchin' for the breeze.

Salt air it ain't thin, I can stick right to you skin,

and make you feel fine. It makes you feel fine.

(repeat chorus)



3.

Yes, and now you heard my strange proposal;

Get that pack gear up and let's move.

I want to be there 'fore the day, tries to steal away

and leave us behind. I've made up my mind.

(repeat chorus and fade)
