_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ Hey guitar friends, I hope [C] you're all doing great
I got a [Ab] request to do friends in low places and I got the request to play it [A] without a capo
[Ab] But I'm also gonna show you how to play it with a capo.
They're gonna [A] sound the same and
Just [G] want you guys to be able to play it either way if we play it with a capo
We don't have to do the bar chords.
So stick [C] with me here and let's get on this lesson and get this song
Learn the right way
Okay, first we're gonna learn how to play this without a capo
Play it with the capo is a little bit easier because we don't have to do the bar chords
[G] But I'm going to show you how to do [Ab] this one first.
So here's the chords.
We're gonna need we're gonna [A] need a
We're gonna need [C] this B flat here, which is just [Bb] first fret
_ _ [Em] second fret [Db] open second fret open
[Bb] _ _ _ [Bm] We're gonna need B minor _
_ [E] _ E [Dm] and
D minor so we'll start out with the intro.
[G] Here's what the intro sounds like
[A] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] Okay.
So what I'm doing here for the a chord is [A] five four three two
For the [E] B flat we're [Bb] going five
_ _ _ [Db] three two one
[Bbm] For _
[Bb] _ _ [Abm] the B minor we're [Bm] going five four three two
then back to the four and _ _ _ _
[B] then one and
_ [Bm] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [E] then we're going to keep our bar and
Play the four three [B] two one [E] and then hammer on the first string [Cm] from the second to [Gb] the fourth fret
_ [E] _ _ _
That's a tough stretch kind [Ab] of works out the hand pretty well
But [A] we can still play it like that be a [Ab] little bit easier with the capo, but stick with me here.
We're gonna learn
How to play it like this first.
So here is [E] the intro one more time.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Gm] _ [Db] _ _ [G] _ Sorry about that.
[A] Let's do that again _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] And we go into our first verse.
Here's that for you
[A] Blame it on my rules.
[E] I
showed up in booze
[Bm] And ruin your black tie affair _ _
[Em] [E] the last one to know
_ Last one to show [A] I was the last one you thought you'd see there.
I
saw the surprise
[Bb] the fear in his [A] eyes
[Bm] I took his glass [Dm] of champagne _
[A] _ [E] And I toasted you said honey, we may be through
_ You'll never hear me come play
_ _ [A] _ _ So what I'm doing there is I'm just [Db] running those through those [Bm] same chords and _ _ _ _ then for the D minor [Dm] here.
I'm doing
_ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ Just playing the first fret then [Em] playing that first [Dm] string open
_ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ [G] Before we go into the E chord, so that's our first verse for you [A] and then the chorus
Starting on the a chord.
Here's the chorus for you _
Cuz I've got friends
In
_ _ places where the whiskey drowned and the beer
Chases my [Bm] boo wait
_ _ _ _ [E] _
_ Hey
_ _ _ Yeah, [A] I'm not big on
Social Graces think I'll slip on down
the oasis
[Bm] So I've got friends
[E] _ _ Low
[A]
places
_ _ _ Okay, and for that strong pattern there you can just do down up down up down [Ab] up strumming pattern
You can also do that same [A] strumming pattern on the [Ab] verses
So here's what that verse would sound [G] like if you just wanted to strum [A] it blame it all on my rules.
[Em] I
showed up in [Bm] booze
Ruin your black tie fair _ _ last one.
No
_ Last one show I [A] was the last one you thought you'd see there
_ saw the [Em] surprise
fear in his eyes
[Bm] When I took his glass [Dm] of champagne
_ [A] _ _ I
Told you you said honey.
We may be throw
You'll never hear me play
_ _ _ _ And then back into the chorus on the a chord
[G] So that's that let's go ahead and learn how to play this with the cape on the [Ab] second fret now
so
It's gonna sound the same.
We're just gonna be [A] playing different chords the chords.
We're gonna need here are G
[E] We're gonna need this G [Bb] sharp
[C] We're gonna bar this the third fret here [Bb] with our first finger _
[A] And we're gonna play the third fret here or the third string [Bbm] on the fourth fret
_ _ [Bb] so it's
_ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Ab] Then we'll need the a [Bm] minor chord
[E] the D chord _ _
[Dm] _ _ And this C minor chord, [Gm] so here's what the intro would sound [A] like
So _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [B] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ _
we [Em] don't need any bar chords here, so that's the good thing about this and it sounds exactly the same
so G chord
_ [A] six or three two four three and two are open here
G [Bb] sharp we're gonna go six four three two also
_ [Bbm] _ _ [E] _
_ [G] So third [Dbm] fret fourth fret third fret a
[Bb] _
_ [B] minor
_ [Bm] _ _ _
we're gonna add in [B] third fret on the first string [Bm] and _ _ then go to the [E] D chord and
_ _ Hammer on our first string
_ _ So here's the verse for you [A] blame it all on my room
[Bbm] showed [Bb] up in boo
[Bm] _
Ruin your black tie affair. _ _
[E] That's one to know
That's one to show [A] I was let one you thought you'd see there
I saw the surprise
[Bbm] Fear [Bb] in his eyes
[Bm]
When I took his glass of [Dm] champagne
[B] _ _
what we're doing here for this C [Eb] minor chord [Dm] is just _
one five four two
_ _ four
[E] then we're removing [Fm] our
second finger here on the [Dm] second string and
_ [A] _ _ _ Then going [E] to the D
_ Toast it you said honey.
We may be through
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Cuz I've got _ _ _ _
Places where the whiskey drowns beer
Chase [Bm] is my food way _ _ _
[E] now
_ Hey _ _ _
[A] Yeah, I'm not big on
_ Gracious think I'll slip on down
the
_ Oasis, [Bm] oh, I've got friends
