G G#dim7 Am7 D
[Verse 1]
G G#dim7 Am7
Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots and ruined your black tie affair
D D
The last one to know, the last one to show
G
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
G G#dim7 Am7 Cm
And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes when I took his glass of champagne
[ Strums at normal tempo]
D D D D D D D D
I toasted you, said honey we may be through but you'll never hear me complain
[Chorus]
G G G G
'Cause I got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Am Am D D
My blues away and I'll be okay
G G G G!
I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Am D G
oh, I've got friends in low places
[Solo]
| G | G | G | G | Am | D | G | G |
[Verse 2]
G G#dim7 Am7
Well, I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong but then, I've been there before
D D
Everything's alright, I'll just say goodnight
G G
And I'll show myself to the door
G G#dim7 Am7 Cm
Hey, I didn't mean to cause a big scene, just give me an hour, and then
D D D D D D D D
I'll be as high as that ivory tower that you're livin' in
[Chorus]
G G G G
'Cause I got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Am Am D D
My blues away and I'll be okay
G G G G!
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Am D G
oh, I've got friends in low places
[Outro] Everyone Sings
G G G G
I got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Am Am D D
My blues away and I'll be okay
G G G G!
Yeah, I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Am D G
oh, I've got friends in low places
G G G G
I got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Am Am D D
My blues away and I'll be okay

I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Am D G
oh, I've got friends in low places
