(A) (Bbdim7) (Bm) (E)
A
Blame it all on my roots
Bbdim7
I showed up in boots
Bm
And ruined your black tie affair
E
The last one to know, the last one to show
A
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
Bbdim7
And the fear in his eyes
Bm
When I took his glass of champagne
E
I toasted you said honey we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Bm
My blues away
E
And I'll be okay
A
I'm not big on social graces
I think I'll step on out to the oasis
Bm E A
'Cause I've got friends in low pl aces
A
Well I guess I was wrong
Bbdim7
I just don't belong
Bm
But hey, I've been there before
E
Every thing's all right, I'll just say goodnight
A
& I'll show myself to the door
Bbdim7
Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Bm
Just give me an hour and then
E
I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Bm
My blues away
E
And I'll be okay
A
I'm not big on social graces
I think I'll step on out to the (No Chord) oasis
Bm E A
'Cause I've got friends in low pl aces
Bm E A
Hey, I've got friends in low pl aces
