* verse 1 : A
blame it all on my roots
A#/A7
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
A#/A7
and the fear in his eyes
Bm
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

* chorus : 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
think i’ll slip on down to the oasis
Bm
’cause i’ve got friends
E
in low places

* verse 2 : A
well i guess i was wrong
A#/A7
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
A#/A7
to cause a big scene
Bm
just give me an hour and then
E
i’ll be as high as that ivory tower
E7
that you’re livin’ in
* repeat chorus
* verse 3 : A
i guess i was wrong
A#/A7
i just don’t belong
Bm
but then , i’ve been there before
E
and everything’s alright
E7
i’ll just say goodnight
A
and i’ll show myself to the door
A
i didn’t mean
A#/A7
to cause a big scene
Bm
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!
