Blame it (G)all on my roots.

Ev The (D)last one to know,

And I saw the sur prise and the (G#dim7)fear in his eyes when (Am)I took his glass of cham (Cm)pagne

and (D)I toast ed you, said, “Hon ey, we may be through, but you’ll nev er hear me com plain.”

’Cause (G)I’ve got friends in low

plac es, where the whis key drowns and the beer

chas es my (Am)blues a way

and I’ll (D7)be o kay.

Yeah, (G)I’m not big on so cial grac es.

Think I’ll slip on down to the O

Oh, (Am)I’ve got friends
