Intro: (A)  (Bbdim7add9)  (Bm)  (E)  
  
Blame it (A) all on my roots  
I (Bbdim7add9)showed up in boots  
And (Bm) ruined your black tie affair  
The (E) last one to know, the last one to show  
I was the (A) last one you thought you'd see there  
And I saw the surprise  
And the (Bbdim7add9) fear in his eyes  
When (Bm) I took his glass of champagne  
(E) I toasted you said honey we may be through  
But you'll never hear me complain  
  
'Cause (A) I got friends in low places  
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases  
My (Bm) blues away  
And I'll (E) be okay  
(A) I'm not big on social graces  
I think I'll step on out to the oasis  
'Cause (Bm) I've got friends (E) in low pl(A)aces  
  
Guitar Solo:  
  
Well I (A) guess I was wrong  
I (Bbdim7add9) just don't belong  
But (Bm) hey, I've been there before  
Every(E)thing's all right, I'll just say goodnight  
& I'll (A) show myself to the door  
Hey I didn't mean to (Bbdim7add9) cause a big scene  
Just (Bm) give me an hour and then  
(E) I'll be as high as that ivory tower  
That you're livin' in  
  
'Cause (A) I got friends in low places  
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases  
My (Bm) blues away  
And I'll (E) be okay  
(A) I'm not big on social graces  
I think I'll step on out to the (No Chord) oasis  
'Cause (Bm) I've got friends (E) in low pl(A)aces  
  
Hey, (Bm) I've got friends (E) in low pl(A)aces
