This is a fun to play, easy to sing along to, very inaccurate version.

The song's in common time with a slow country lilt.

*Verse 1:  A
  Blame it all on my roots
           Bb/A7
         I showed up in boots
           Bm (x24432@1)      And ruined your black tie affair
           E (022100@1)      The last one to know
           E7 (020130@1)      The last one to show
           A (x02220@1)I was the last one you thought you'd see there
           A (x02220@1)    And I saw the surprise
           Bb/A7
   And the fear in his eyes
           Bm (x24432@1)     When I took his glass of champagne
           E (022100@1)          I toasted you
           E7Said (020130@1)honey we may be through
           E (022100@1)      But you'll never hear me 
           E7 (020130@1)      Complain

*Chorus:   A
    'Cause I got friends in low places
           A (x02220@1)Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
           Bm (x24432@1)      My blues away
           E (022100@1) And I'll be okay
           A (x02220@1)          I'm not big on social graces
           AThink (x02220@1)I'll slip on down to the oasis
           Bm (x24432@1)   'Cause I've got friends 
           E (022100@1)       In low places

*Verse 2:  A
    Well I guess I was wrong
           Bb/A7
         I just don't belong
           Bm (x24432@1)      But then, I've been there before
           E (022100@1)     Everything's alright
           E7 (020130@1)     I'll just say goodnight
           A (x02220@1) And I'll show myself to the door
           A (x02220@1)      Hey I didn't mean 
           Bb/A7
        To cause abig (x02210@1)scene
           Bm (x24432@1)     Just give me an hour and then
           E (022100@1)          I'll be as high as that ivory tower
           E7 (020130@1)           That you're livin' in
*Repeat Chorus
*Verse 3:  A
         I guess I was wrong 
           Bb/A7
         I just don't belong 
           Bm (x24432@1)      But then, I've been there before 
           E (022100@1) And everything's alright 
           E7 (020130@1)     I'll just say goodnight 
           A (x02220@1) And I'll show myself to the door 
           A (x02220@1)          I didn't mean 
           Bb/A7
        To cause abig (x02210@1)scene 
           Bm (x24432@1)     Just wait 'til I finish this glass 
           E (022100@1)     Then sweet little lady 
           E7 (020130@1)I'll head back to the bar 
           E (022100@1)           And you can 
           E7 (020130@1)  Kiss my ass!
*Repeat Chorus
