Verse 1

Blame it

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] all on my roots

I	[B♭°7Diminished 7th Chord (U,m3,d5,d7) on the Minor Second] showed up in boots

And	[BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Major Second] ruined your black tie affair

The	[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] last one to know

The	[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] last one to show

[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] I was the

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] last one you thought you'd see there

And I

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] saw the surprise

And the

[B♭°7Diminished 7th Chord (U,m3,d5,d7) on the Minor Second] fear in his eyes

When

[BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Major Second] I took his glass of cham-

[Dm7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fourth] pagne

[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] I toasted you

Said honey

[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] we may be through

But	[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] you'll never hear me

Comp-

[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] lain

Chorus

'Cause

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] I got friends in low places

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] Where the

whiskey drowns and the beer chases

My	[BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Major Second] blues away

[BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Major Second] And I'll

[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] be okay

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] I'm not big on social graces

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] Think I'll

slip on down to the

[A7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Unison] oasis

'Cause

[BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Major Second] I've got friends

[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth]

In low

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] places

Verse 2

Well, I

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] guess I was wrong

I	[B♭°7Diminished 7th Chord (U,m3,d5,d7) on the Minor Second] just don't belong

But	[BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Major Second] then, I've been there before

Every-

[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] thing's alright

I'll	[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] just say goodnight

[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] And I'll

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] show myself to the door

Hey,	[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] I didn't mean

To	[B♭°7Diminished 7th Chord (U,m3,d5,d7) on the Minor Second] cause a big scene

Just

[BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Major Second] give me an hour and

[Dm7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fourth] then

[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] I'll be as high as that

[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] Ivory tower

[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] That you're livin'

[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] in

Repeat Chorus
Verse 3

I	[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] guess I was wrong

I	[B♭°7Diminished 7th Chord (U,m3,d5,d7) on the Minor Second] just don't belong

But	[BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Major Second] then, I've been there before

[BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Major Second] And every

[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] thing's alright

I'll	[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] just say goodnight

And I'll

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] show myself to the door

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] I didn't mean

To	[B♭°7Diminished 7th Chord (U,m3,d5,d7) on the Minor Second] cause a big scene

Just

[BmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Major Second] wait 'til I finish this

[Dm7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fourth] glass

Then	[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] sweet little lady

I'll head

[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] back to the bar

[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Fifth] And you can

[E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Fifth] kiss my ass!

Repeat Chorus
