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.

    The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears—as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk- happy.
    Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)

    In the extent and proper structure of the Union, therefore, we behold a republican remedy for the diseases most incident to republican government.
