Jimmy Buffett (born December 25, 1946 in Gulf Shores, Alabama, United States) is a singer/songwriter, best known for his "island escapism" lifestyle and music including hits such as "Margaritaville" and "Come Monday". He has a rabid, but genial, cult following known as "Parrotheads." They call the youngest members "Parakeets."
Buffett has written three No. 1 best sellers. Tales from Margaritaville and Where Is Joe Merchant? both spent over seven months on the New York Times Best Seller fiction list.

[1st verse]
D nibblin on sponge cake, Watchin the sun bake A all those tourists covered in oil A strummin my six string, on my front porch swing A7D watch those shrimp there beggining to boil
[Chorus] (there are slight variations to the chorus throughout the song, ill put them on)
GAD Wastin' Away again in Margaritaville GAD Lookin for my lost shaker of salt GADAG Some people claim theres a woman to blame A7D but I know It could be my fault
[verse 2]
D Don't know the reason, been here all season, A Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo. A But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie, A7D How it got here I haven't a clue.
[Chorus Variation 2]
GAD Wasted away again in Margaritaville, GAD Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt. GADAG Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, A7D But I know hell, it could be my fault.
[Verse 3]
D Blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop-top, A Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home. A But there's booze in the blender and soon it will render, A7D That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.
[Chorus variation 3]
GAD Wasted away again in Margaritaville, GAD Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt. GADAG Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, A7D But I know it's my own damn fault.
GAD Wasted away again in Margaritaville, GAD Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt. GADAG Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, A7D But I know it's my own damn fault.
