Last night I found the single version of Margaritaville on Youtube, this is the version of the song released on 45 rpm records back in 1977. This version is also known as the radio edit version of Margaritaville.
The differences between the album and single or radio edit version are as follows:
The interlude between the second chorus and third verse is completely omitted or removed.
The section during the third chorus and final refrain "…woman to blame but I know, it's my own damn fault. Yes and, some people claim that there's a…" This makes the song structure riff-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-riff, as opposed to riff-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-interlude-verse-chorus-refrain-riff.
The track itself was sped up a half-step. The original recording of the key of D would be E-flat.
The length of the radio edit version of Margaritaville is 3:20 verses 4:09 for the album version.
