Friends In Low Places

Garth Brooks

Tempo: 108*
Transpose
Section in A
Guitar - Standard tuning
Verse
A
Blame it all on my roots
F#7
I showed up in boots
Bm
And ruined your black tie affair
E
The last one to know
The last one to show
A
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
F#7
And the fear in his eyes
BmDm7
When I took his glass of champagne
E
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
Bm
My blues away
E
And I'll be okay
A
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
BmE
'Cause I've got friends
A
In low places
Verse
A
Well I guess I was wrong
F#7
I just don't belong
Bm
But then, I've been there before
E
Everything's alright
I'll just say goodnight
A
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey I didn't mean
F#7
To cause a big scene
BmDm7
Just give me an hour and then
E
I'll be as high as that
Ivory tower
That you're livin'
in
Repetition: Chorus
A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Bm
My blues away
E
And I'll be okay
A
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
BmE
'Cause I've got friends
