Friends in Low Places - Song Structure

Song Structure

"Friends in Low Places" is in a moderate tempo and the key of A major. The song begins with arpeggios on the chords A, B♭dim7, Bm7 and E, a pattern which is repeated throughout the verses. This was not originally part of the song, but was improvised by session guitarist Mark Casstevens; the original song did not have an intro. The chorus uses A-Bm-E twice before ending on an A chord.

    you see, we live in a cold climate
    and are not permitted to kiss on the street
    so I made up a song that wasn’t true.
    I made up a song called Marriage.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Communism is a proposition to structure the world more reasonably, a proposition for changing the world. As such, we have to analyze it and, if we deem it reasonable, act upon it.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
