MARGARITAVILLE

  C 
Living on sponge cake, watching the sun bake
                                         G
watching those tourists all covered with oil

Just strumming my six string, on the front porch swing
                                            C
Smelling those shrimp they’re beginning to boil

chorus
 F        G                    C      F            G                 C  
Wasted away again in Margaritaville, searching for my lost shaker of salt
 F            G                   C       F                  G                  C
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame, but I think, it’s my own damn fault

I don’t know the reason, I stayed here all season
got nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
It’s a real beauty, a Mexican cutie
how it got here, I haven’t a clue

chorus

I blew off my flip-flops, stepped on a pop top
I cut my hell, 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

KNOCKING ON HEAVEN’S DOOR

  G         D         Am7        G       D             C
Take these guns off of me,       I can’t shoot them anymore
  G          D                  Am7    G          D                   C
It’s getting dark, too dark to see,   I feel I’m knocking on heaven’s door

chorus

Knock knock knocking on heaven’s door, knock knock knocking on heaven’s door
knock knock knocking on heaven’s door, knock knock knocking on heaven’s door

Throw these badges on the ground, I can’t wear them anymore
Big black cloud is coming down, I feel I’m knocking on heaven’s door
