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

       A

To cause a big scene  
     Bm                      Dm7 
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!
