VERSE:
A
Blame it all on my roots
E dim
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

A
And I saw the surprise
E dim
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

CHORUS:
            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 places

VERSE:
Well I guess I was wrong
I just don’t belong
But hey, I’ve been there before
Everything’s all right, I’ll just say goodnight
& I’ll show myself to the door

Hey I didn’t mean to cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
I’ll be as high as that ivory tower
That you’re livin’ in

CHORUS:

            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 places
