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

mmmmmm oh the change is gonna do me good
 
Interlude: 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
 
Interlude: 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
 
Interlude: D7 D G
 
          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
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?
 

          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
 

           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
