[Verse 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                        E7
But you'll never hear me 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                   A7
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
    Bm              E
Oh, I've got friends
        A
In low places

[Verse 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
Well, I'll be as high as that
E7
Ivory tower
E                    E7
  That you're livin' in

[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                   A7
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
    Bm              E
Oh, I've got friends
        A
In low places

[Verse 3]
  A
I guess I was wrong
  Bbdim7
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
   Bbdim7
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!

[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                   A7
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
    Bm              E
Oh, I've got friends
        A
In low places

       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
Oh, I've got friends
        A
In low places
