Friends in Low Places
Garth Brooks
Key of A

intro         A  A+5  Bm  E

                       A                   A+5
verse1        Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
                   Bm
              And ruined your black tie affair
                  E                      E7
              The last one to know, the last one to show
                         A
              I was the last one you thought you'd see there
                     A                       A+5
              And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
                     Bm                    Dm
              When I took his glass of champagne
              E                         E7
              I toasted you, said honey we may be through
                  E
              But you'll never hear me complain

                  A
chorus        Coz I got friends in low places
                         A                                    Bm
              Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
                       E
              And I'll be OK
                  A
              Now I'm not big on social graces
                                             A7
              Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
                 Bm               E         A
              So I've got friends  in low places

turnaround    A / / /  Bm  E  A

verse2        Well I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong
              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

chorus        (repeat till you get blue in the face)
