Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays

Cheeseburger in paradise
SOL LA REHeaven on Earth with an onion slice
SOL LA RENot too particular, not too precise
I'm just a Cheeseburger in paradise
Heard about the old time sailor men
They eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn
But times change, sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed
Chorus
Cheeseburger in Paradise
Medium rare with mustard be nice
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise

Cheeseburger in Paradise
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a

Repeat Guitar Tacet part (above)
He went to Paris lookin' for answers
RE LATo questions that bothered him so
He was impressive, young and aggressive
Savin' the world on his own
But the warm summer breezes
LAThe French wines and cheeses
RE MI7Put his ambition at bay
The summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
RE MI7 LAAnd four or five years slipped away
Then he went to England, played the piano
And married an actress named Kim
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
And bore him a young son named Jim
And all of the answers and all of the questions
Locked in his attic one day
'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'
And twenty more years slipped away
Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady
And left him with only one eye
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered
And all he could do was just cry
While the tears were a-fallin' he was recallin'
Answers he never found
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean
And left England without a sound
Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's
And drinks his Green Label each day
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin'
But he don't care what most people say
Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile and he'll say
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I had a good life all the way"
LA
And he went to Paris lookin' for answers
To questions that bothered him so

Somewhere down Montserrat way
But the money's good in the season
Helps to lighten up her load
Boys keep her high as the months go by
She's gettin' postcards from the road

Sailed off to Antigua
It took her three days on a boat
Lookin' for some peace and quiet

'Cause the school's still close at hand
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth
Of the sharks that can swim on the land

RE
Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
LAAll of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six-string
On my front porch swing
RE RE7Smell those shrimp, they're beginnin' to boil
Chorus
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
SOL LA RE RE7Searching for my lost shaker of salt
SOL LA RE LA SOLSome people claim that there's a wo-man to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault
I don't know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue
Chorus
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault
Solo (based on verse chords and chorus)
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel 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
Chorus
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know
It's my own damned fault
Yes and, some people claim that there's a wo-man to blame
LA SOL REAnd I know it's my own damned fault
SOL
As the son of a son of a sailor
FA DO SOLI went out on the sea for adventure
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
RE SOLLike a man just released from indenture
SOL
As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man
FA DO SOLI have chalked up many a mile
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks
RE SOLAnd I learned much from both of their styles
Chorus
Son of a son, son of a son
SOLSon of a son of a sailor
FA DOSon of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer
Now away in the near future
Southeast of disorder
You can shake the hand of the Mango man
As he greets you at the boarder
And the lady she hails from Trinidad
Island of the spices
Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet
And the rum is for all your good vices
FA DO
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
SOLThat our forefathers harnessed before us
Hear the bells ring as the tide ringing sings
SOLIt's a son of a gun of a chorus
Where it all ends I can't fathom my friends
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
So I'll cruise along always searching for songs
Not a lawyer a thief or a banker
But the son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer
I'm just a son of a son, son of a son
Son of a son of a sailor
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains
SOLI'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
Intro SOL RE LA SOL RE
RE SOL
I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
SOLAll of the faces and all of the places
LA REWonderin' where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long
SOL LAI was hungry and went out for a bite
SOL RERan into a chum with a bottle of rum
and we wound up drinkin' all night
It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
SOL REWith all of our running and all of our cunning
LA SOL REif we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I've seen more than I can recall
Chorus
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
(Repeat Intro chords)
I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God I wish I was sailin' again
Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder
So I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
If we weren't all crazy we would go insane

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
LAm RE LAm7 SOLYou've seen it all, you've seen it all....

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasure that few have ever seen
Most of them dreams, most of them dreams
3)
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
4)
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last
I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks,
But I've got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
I'm down to rock bottom again,
Just a few friends, just a few friends...
6)
I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
And though I ran away, they'll come back one day
And I still can manage a smile.
It just takes a while, just takes a while
7)
Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown....
I really do, appreciate the fact you're sittin' here

I think I've got cabin fever
Somebody sound the alarm
