Margaritaville

Here's Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville in two parts. In contrast to Dave's arrangement of Another Brick in the Wall, this one is aimed squarely at being a sing-along. Most of it is just the rhythm part strumming along in eighth notes.

The strum pattern for the rhythm part is largely down-up-chunk-up-down-up-chunk-up. If you're wondering what a "chunk" is, here's an explanation:

In the video he's playing a strum pattern that's a little more complicated that what we'll be playing. We'll just be playing a steady beat, with chunks on the 2 and 4 beats.

Here are the two parts in tab notation, and an MP3. My recording and playing skills aren't much, so unlike Dave, I let my computer generate the audio. It doesn't exactly sound like ukuleles, but I think you'll get the idea.

Since it's only two parts, I've included them both on one recording. If you want to hear just one or the other part for practice, just set your audio balance all the way to the left or right.
