  			D   
Livin' on spongecake, watchin' the sun bake all   
		                                  A   
		All of those tourist covered with oil   
		   
		Strummin' my six string, on my front porch swing   
		                                        D      D7  
		Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil   
   
		G        A                 D            D7   
	CHORUS:	Wastin' away again in Margarita-ville   
		G                A              D      D7  
		Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt   
		G           A                    D F#m      G   
		Some people claim that there's a woman to blame   
		      A                  D   
		But I know it's nobody's fault   
   
		D   
		I don't know the reason, I stayed here all season   
		                                   A   
		Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo   
		   
		But it's a real beautie, a Mexican cutie   
		                                D     D7   
		But how it got here I haven't a clue   
   
   
		CHORUS   
   
		D   
		I blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-top   
		                                  A   
		Cut my heel had to cruise on back home   
		   
		But there's booze in the blender, and soon it will render   
		                                         D   D7   
		That frozen concotion that helps me hang on   
                  
                BREAK----D A G A D A G A D  
                                        

		CHORUS   
   
		 D          A                  D F#m      G   
		Some people say that there's a woman to blame   
		      A                     D   
		But I know it's my own damn fault
