D7 D G . . .

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

          B7
They said get back honky cat

Better get back to the woods
       E7
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
D7     D                            G
mmmmmm oh the change is gonna do me good

D7 D G

           B7
You better get back honky cat

Living in the city ain't where it's at
          E7
It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine
          D7                      D                    G
It's like trying to drink whisky, oh, from a bottle of wine

D7 D G

       D7                    D
Well I read some books and I read some magazines
            G
About those high class ladies down in New Orleans
            D7
And all the folks back home well, said I was a fool
          G
They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule

          B7
They said get back honky cat

Better get back to the woods
       E7
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
D7     D                            G
mmmmmm oh the change is gonna do me good

They said stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm
G
Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart
    D7
But how can you stay, when your heart says no?
G
How can you stop when your feet say go?
