***Tune Guitar 1/2 Step Down To Match Recording***

Intro: (A)  (Bbdim7)  (Bm)  (E)

Blame it (A) all on my roots
I (Bbdim7)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 (Bbdim7) 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 (Bbdim7) 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 (Bbdim7) 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

Repeat Intro
