G
Blame it all on my roots I showed up in boots
Am
And ruined your black tie affair
D7
The last one to know the last one to show
G
I was the last one you thought you’d see there.
G
And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
Am
When I took his glass of champagne
D7
And I toasted you said honey we may be through
But you’ll never hear me complain
G
Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Am D7
My blues away and I’ll be okay
G
Well I’m not big on social graces,
I think I’ll step on out to the oasis
Am D7 G
Cause I’ve got friends in low places.
G
Well I guess I was wrong I just don’t belong
Am
But then I’ve been there before.
D7
Everything’s all right I’ll just say goodnight
G
And I’ll show myself to the door.
G
Well I didn’t mean to cause a big scene,
Am
Just give me an hour and then
Blame it all on my roots I showed up in boots
Am
And ruined your black tie affair
D7
The last one to know the last one to show
G
I was the last one you thought you’d see there.
G
And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
Am
When I took his glass of champagne
D7
And I toasted you said honey we may be through
But you’ll never hear me complain
G
Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Am D7
My blues away and I’ll be okay
G
Well I’m not big on social graces,
I think I’ll step on out to the oasis
Am D7 G
Cause I’ve got friends in low places.
G
Well I guess I was wrong I just don’t belong
Am
But then I’ve been there before.
D7
Everything’s all right I’ll just say goodnight
G
And I’ll show myself to the door.
G
Well I didn’t mean to cause a big scene,
Am
Just give me an hour and then
D7
I’ll be as high as that ivory tower that you’re living in–
G
Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Am D7
My blues away and I’ll be okay
G
Well I’m not big on social graces,
I think I’ll step on out to the oasis
Am D7 G
Cause I’ve got friends in low places.
