Friends in Low Places Lyrics

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.
*Introduction:
*Verse 1: A
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
*Chorus: A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
'Cause I've got friends
In low places
*Verse 2: A
Well I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's alright
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
*Repeat Chorus
*Verse 3: A
I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
And everything's alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I'll head back to the bar
And you can
Kiss my ass!
*Repeat Chorus
