Tom: G G Dm 1. Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots, Am and ruined your black tie affair. D D7 The last one to know, the last one to show, G I was the last one you thought you'd see there. G Dm 2. And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes Am C when I took his glass of champagne D I toasted you, said honey, "We may be through, D7 but you'll never hear me complain." G 'Cause I got friends in low places, where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases Am D my blues away, and I'll be okay. G And I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis, Am -D G G-Am-D-G oh, I've got friends in low places. G Dm 3. Well I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong, Am but then, I've been there before. D D7 Everything's all right, I'll just say goodnight, G and I'll show myself to the door. G Dm Am C 4. Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene, just give me an hour and then D D7 well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower that you're livin' in. + REFRAIN + REFRAIN ....
