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, Bâ™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.
