Intro: A E B E
Verse:
A
Blame it all on my roots
E
I showed up in boots
B
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
A
And I saw the surprise
E
And the fear in his eyes
B
When I took his glass of champagne
E
I toasted you said honey we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
Chorus:
A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
B
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
B E
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Verse -same as first-:
Well I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But hey, I've been there before
Everything's all right, I'll just say goodnight
& I'll show myself to the door
Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
Chorus:
A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
B
My blues away
E
And I'll be okay
