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
