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.

Verse 1: A
Blame it all on my roots
I [Bb/A7]showed up in boots
And [Bm]ruined your black tie affair
The [E]last one to know
The [E7]last one to show
I was the [A]last one you thought you'd see there
And I [A]saw the surprise
And the [Bb/A7]fear in his eyes
When [Bm]I took his glass of champagne
[E]I toasted you
Said honey [E7]we may be through
But [E]you'll never hear me
Comp[E7]lain
Chorus: A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the [A]whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My b[Bm]lues away
And I'll [E]be okay
[A]I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll [A]slip on down to the oasis
'Cause [Bm]I've got friends
In [E]low places
Verse 2: A
Well I guess I was wrong
I [Bb/A7]just don't belong
But [Bm]then, I've been there before
Every[E]thing's alright
I'll [E7]just say goodnight
And I'll [A]show myself to the door
Hey [A]I didn't mean
To [Bb/A7]cause a big scene
Just [Bm]give me an hour and then
[E]I'll be as high as that ivory tower
[E7] That you're livin' in
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3: A
I guess I was wrong
I [Bb/A7]just don't belong
But [Bm]then, I've been there before
And every[E]thing's alright
I'll [E7]just say goodnight
And I'll [A]show myself to the door
[A]I didn't mean
To [Bb/A7]cause a big scene
Just [Bm]wait 'til I finish this glass
Then [E]sweet little lady
I'll head [E7]back to the bar
[E] And you can
Kiss my [E7]ass!
Repeat Chorus
