Key: A
Introduction: A Bbº7 Bm E
A
Blame it all on my roots
A#º
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#º
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
A
Well, I guess I was wrong
A#º
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#º
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

A
I didn' t mean
A#º
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!
