Intro:   A      Bbdim     Bm7    E

 

                    A                                     Bbdim7                                          Bm7

Blame it all on my roots / I showed up in boots / And ruined your black tie affair

          E                                                                                                                  A

The last one to know / The last one to show  / I was the last one / You thought you'd see there

                                                                         Bbdim                                       Bm7                                             Bm7b5/D

And I saw the surprise / And the fear in his eyes / When I took his glass of champagne

          E                                                                                                                

And I toasted you said, honey, we may be through / But you'll never hear me complain

 

                                     A

'Cause I've got friends in low places / Where the whiskey drowns

                                                                 Bm7                            E

And the beer chases my blues away / And I'll be okay

                A              

Yeah, I'm not big on social graces / Think I'll slip on down to the oasis

           Bm7                        E                      A

Oh, I've got friends   in low places

 

Original 2nd Verse:

Well, I guess I was wrong / I just don't belong / But then, I've been there before

Everything's all right / I'll just say goodnight / And I'll show myself to the door

Hey, I didn't mean / To cause a big scene / Just give me an hour and then

Well, I'll be as high / As that ivory tower / That you're livin' in     Chorus

 

Popular 2nd Verse:

I guess I was wrong / I just don't belong / But then, I've been there before

And everything is alright / I'll just say goodnight / And I'll show myself to the door

I didn't mean to cause a big scene / Just wait 'til I finish this glass

Then sweet little lady / I'll head back to the bar / And you can kiss my ass  Chorus
