Margaritaville

Everyone knows Jimmy Buffet’s song, Margaritaville. Play it in the key of C, and we’ll need only three more chords, F, G, and Am to complete this easy tune. Instead of learning the intro to Margaritaville now, let’s concentrate on playing the simple chord progression so you can play the song right away. You’ll notice that the sequence “F, G, C” repeats many times in the song, and you only play the Am chord once in the chorus. Hint: when you sing the word, “woman”, that’s when you play the Am. Adding a colorful way of strumming, which we show you, will add a little spice to Margaritaville.
