(A)  (Bbdim7)  (Bm)  (E)

         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, the last one to show
          A
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
        Bbdim7
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

       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 pl aces

       A
Well I guess I was wrong
  Bbdim7
I just don't belong
    Bm
But hey, I've been there before
      E
Every thing's all right, I'll just say goodnight
       A
& I'll show myself to the door
                     Bbdim7
Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene
     Bm
Just give me an hour and then
E
I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

       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 (No Chord) oasis
       Bm               E         A
'Cause I've got friends in low pl aces

     Bm               E         A
Hey, I've got friends in low pl aces
