Margarita Tab

by Great Big Sea


 "Margarita"(McCann)
  From "Turn"(1999)


  This one's far from my favourite tune from The B'ys,
   but for the sake of completeness....

    *Capo on the second fret*


     Intro:   | | X2

                              
 I see you in the front row,bouncing up and down
                            
 You're ripped and ready for a night downtown
                              
 And all the pretty boys are chasing you around
                              
 Cause they all wanna win your affection

 You spent three hours getting ready for the show
 Nothing on underneath and everybody knows
 Mama said wear a coat or catch your death of cold
 What's wrong with a little flirtation?

 Pre-chorus:

                     
 And then you smile at me
                 
 Is that a wink I see?
                  
 Did I catch your eye?
               
 Should I even try?
   
 Chorus:

                   
 Oh, my Margarita (Margarita)
 Like to meet you (Margarita)
 Marguarita (Marguarita)
 I Think I need you (Marguarita)

 Take your time, dance real slow
 Remember that song from the radio
 Got your old man's car, got a place to go
 Cause we all need a little temptation

 Those two big fellas are looking for a fight
 It's what they like to do on a Saturday night
 Maybe it's the alcohol, maybe it's the lights
 But they just want to get your attention

 Chorus,intro,then bridge:

                         
 Talk to me,baby, it's alright
                                 
 I might look strange, but I don't bite
                            
 And if you let me hold your hand
                                   
 I can find a way to make you understand

 Called last call, now it's time to go
 But I'm not the guy who gets to walk you home
 We could have made history, I guess we'll never know
 I'll see you in dreams

 Chorus x2, intro to end.
