Friends in Low Places                             
(Garth Brooks)                                    
                                                  
(6/8 time, starts on 'E')                         
                                                  
Blame it   all on my roots, I   showed up in      
boots, and   ruined your black-tie a-             
ffair. 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 cham- pagne.    I toasted you, said      
"Honey,   we may be through, but   you'll         
never hear me com- plain."  'Cause

      I've got friends in   low places            
    where the   whiskey drowns and the            
    beer chases my   blues away,                  
     and I'll   be okay.     Yeah,                
      I'm not big on   social graces,             
    think I'll   slip on down to the   o          
    asis, oh,   I've got friends    in            
    low pla- ces                                  
                                                  
Well I   guess I was wrong, I   just don't        
belong, but   then, I've been there be-           
fore. Every- thing'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.  'Cause
