Tom: Am
C
Blame it all on my roots
C#dim7
I showed up in boots
Dm
And ruined your black-tie affair
G
The last one to know
G7
The last one to show
C
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
C
And I saw the surprise
C#dim7
And the fear in her eyes
Dm7 Fm
When I took her glass of champagne
C
And I toasted you
C7
Said, "Honey, we may be through,
G
But you'll never hear me complain."
[Chorus]
C
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases
Dm
My blues away
G
And I'll be okay
C
I'm not big on social graces
C7
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Dm G C
Oh, I've got friends in low places
[Verse 2]
C
Well, I guess I was wrong
C#dim7
I just don't belong
Dm
But then I've been there before
C
Everything's all right
C7
I'll just say goodnight
C
And I'll show myself to the door
C
Hey, I didn't mean
C#dim7
To cause a big scene
Dm7. Fm
Just give me an hour and then
C
Well, I'll be as high
C7
As that ivory tower
C
That you're livin' in
[Chorus]
C
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases
Dm
My blues away
G
And I'll be okay
C
I'm not big on social graces
C7
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Dm G C
Oh, I've got friends in low places
[Solo]
C Dm G C C7 Dm G C
[Chorus]
C
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases
Dm
My blues away
G
And I'll be okay
C
I'm not big on social graces
C7
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Dm G C
Oh, I've got friends in low places
