LIVE PARTY MUSIC FOR EVERY OCCASION!
[Intro]
D G A D
[Verse]
D
Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake
A
All of those tourists covered with oil
A
Strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing
D D7
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil
[Chorus]
G A D D7 G A D D7
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville, searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
G A D A/C# G A D
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know, it's nobody's fault
[Verse]
D
Don't know the reason, I stayed here all season
A
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
A
But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie
D D7
How it got here I haven't a clue
[Chorus]
G A D D7 G A D D7
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville, searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
G A D A/C# G A D
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, now I think, hell it could be my fault
[Instrumental]
D A
G A D A/C# G A D
[Verse]
D
I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop top
A
Cut my heal had to cruise on back home
A
But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render
D D7
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
[Chorus]
G A D D7 G A D D7
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville, searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
G A D A/C# G A D D7
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know, it's my own damn fault
G A D A/C# G A D
Yes and, some people claim that there's a woman to blame, and I know, it's my own damn fault

Verse 1:
Gm
The sound of your footsteps
F
Telling me that you're near
Am
Your soft gentle motion, baby
Dm C
Brings out the need in me that no-one can hear, except
F C
In my midnight confessions
Gm C
When I tell all the world that I love you
F C
In my midnight confessions
Gm C
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you
E B F# C#
But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
E B F#
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
D#
I'm wasting my time
Gm
Staggering through the daytime
F
Your image on my mind
Am
Passing so close beside you baby
Dm C
Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, except
F C
In my midnight confessions
Gm C
When I tell all the world that I love you
F C
In my midnight confessions
Gm C
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you 2x
F C
Na na-na na na na na-na
Gm C
Na na-na na na na na-na 2x

Am F Dm G
Sha la la la la
Am F G

[Verse 1]
Am F Dm G
I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl
Am F G
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer
Am F Dm G
You know she dances while his father plays guitar. She's suddenly beautiful
Am F G
We all want something beautiful, man, I wish I was beautiful
Am F Dm
So come dance this silence down through the morning
G Am F G
Sha la la la la la la la la yeah uh huh yeah
Am F Dm G
Cut up, Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances
Am F G
And pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Am F Dm G
Believe in me. Help me believe in anything
Am F G
'Cause I want to be someone who believes, yeah
[Chorus 1]
C F G
Mr. Jones and me, tell each other fairy tales
C F
and we stare at the beautiful women
G G C
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
F G
Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo
C F G
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
[Verse 2]
Am F Dm G
Well, I will paint my picture. Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
Am F G
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful (yeah, well you know)
Am F Dm G
Gray is my favorite color I-I felt so symbolic yesterday
Am F G
If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
[Chorus 2]
C F G
Mr. Jones and me, look into the future
C F
yeah we stare at the beautiful women
G
"She's looking at you. Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me."
C F G
Standing in the spotlight, I bought myself a gray guitar
C F G Am
When everybody lo-ves me, I will never be lo-one-ly
[Bridge]
Fmaj7
I will never be lonely
Am G
I'm never gonna be looone-ly
Am F
I want to be a lion. Everybody wants to pass as cats
Am G
We all want to be big, big stars, yeah but we got different reasons for that.
Am F
Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
Am G
And I want to be someone to believe, to believe, to believe.
[Chorus 3]
C F G
Mr. Jones and me, stumbling through the barrio
C F
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
G
"She's perfect for you, man, there's got to be somebody for me."
C F
I want to be Bob Dylan
G
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
C F G
When everybody loves you, ah son, that's just about as funky as you can be.
C F G
Mr. Jones and me, staring at the video
C F G
When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me.
C F G
We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why, and we don't know how.
C F G
But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as I can be.
C F G
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars.....Tuning: E A D G B E
