Tom : A
A Bbº
Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
Bm
And ruined your black tie affair
E E7
The last one to know, the last one to show
A
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
A Bbº
And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
Bm Dm7
When I took his glass of champagne
E
I toasted you, said honey, "We may be through
E E7
But you'll never hear me complain."
A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Bm E
My blues away, and I'll be okay
A
And I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Bm E A
Oh, I've got friends in low places
A Bbº
Well I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong
Bm
But then, I've been there before
E E7
Everything's all right, I'll just say goodnight
A
And I'll show myself to the door
A Bbº Bm C
Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene, just give me an hour
Dm7
And then
E E7
Well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower that you're livin' in
