Friends in Low Places

(Capo 2 for original)

Blame it

all

on my roots. I

showed

up in boots

And

ruined

your black tie affair

The

last

one to know, the last one to show

I was the

last

one you thought you'd see there

And I

saw

the surprise and the

fear

in his eyes

When

I

took his glass of

champagne

I

toasted you, said "Honey we may be through,

But

you'll

never hear me complain"

'Cause

I

got friends in low places

Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases

My

blues

away. I'll

be

okay

I'm

not big on social graces

Think I'll step on out to the oasis

Oh,

I've

got friends

in low

places

(Instrumental)

Well I guess I was wrong. I just don't belong

But then I've been there before

Everything's all right, I'll just say goodnight

And I'll show myself to the door

Hey, I didn't mean to cause a big scene

Just give me an hour and then

I'll be as high as that ivory tower

That you're livin' in

Well I guess I was wrong. I just don't belong

But then I've been there before

Everything's all right, I'll just say goodnight

And I'll show myself to the door

Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene

Just wait ‘till I finish this glass

Then sweet little lady I’ll head back to the bar

And you can kiss my ass

(Chorus 4x and fade)
