D7
When I look back, boy I must have been green
G
Boppin in the country, fishing in a stream
D7
Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign
G
Until I saw your city lights, honey I was blind-they said



B7
Get back honky cat, better get back to the woods
       E7
Well I quit those days, and my redneck ways-and-a
D7                                                G
Mmm mmm mmm mmm oh the change is gonna do me good


B7
Get back honky cat, living in the city ain't where its at,
           E7
It's like, trying to find gold in a silver mine, its like
D7                                           G
Trying to drink whisky, from a bottle of wine



D7
Well I read some books and some magazines about those
G
High class ladies down in new Orleans and all the
D7
Folks back home, well, they said I was a fool, they said
G
Leave them alone, is the golden rule



B7
Get back honky cat, better get back to the woods
       E7
Well I quit those days, and my redneck ways-and-a
D7                                               G
Mmm mmm mmm mmm oh the change is gonna do me good

Living in the city boy is, gonna break your heart
