Blame it all  
G 
on my rootsI s
E7 
howed up in bootsAnd  
Am 
ruined your black tie affairThe  
D 
last one to knowThe last one to showI was the  
G 
last one you thought you’d see thereAnd I saw the surpriseAnd the  
E7 
fear in his eyesWhen  
Am 
I took his glass of champagne
D 
I toasted youSaid honey we may be throughBut you’ll never hear meComplain
 
Chorus 
 
‘Cause  
G 
I got friends in low placesWhere the whiskey drowns and the beer chasesMy b
Am 
lues awayAnd I’ll  
D 
be 
 
okay
G 
I’m not big on social gracesThink I’ll slip on down to the oasis‘Cause  
Am 
I’ve got friends
D 
In low p
G 
laces
 
Aerse 
 
Well I  
G 
guess I was wrongI  
E7 
just don’t belongBut  
Am 
then, I’ve been there beforeEvery
D 
thing’s alrightI’ll just say goodnightAnd I’ll  
G 
show myself to the doorHey I didn’t meanTo  
E7 
cause a big sceneJust  
Am 
give me an hour and then
D 
I’ll be as high as thatIvory towerThat you’re livin’
