Verso 1:
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
E7
The last one to show
A
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
A
And I saw the surprise
Bbdim7
And the fear in his eyes
Bm Dm7
When I took his glass of champagne
E
I toasted you
E7
Said honey we may be through
E
But you'll never hear me
E7
Complain
A
'Cause I got friends in low places
A
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
A A7
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Bm E
'Cause I've got friends
A
In low places
Verso 2:
A
Well I guess I was wrong
Bbdim7
I just don't belong
Bm
But then, I've been there before
E
Everything's alright
E7
I'll just say goodnight
A
And I'll show myself to the door
A
Hey I didn't mean
Bbdim7
To cause a big scene
Bm Dm7
Just give me an hour and then
E
I'll be as high as that
E7
Ivory tower
E
That you're livin'
E7
in
A
'Cause I got friends in low places

And I'll be okay

Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Bm E
'Cause I've got friends

In low places

Just wait 'til I finish this glass
E
Then sweet little lady
E7
I'll head back to the bar
E
And you can
E7
Kiss my ass!
