[G]
[D] When I look back, I'm born a muffin green
Hopping in the country, visiting the streams
Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign
Until I saw your city lights, honey I would [D] climb
[G] They say, [B] get back, forget, better get back to the woods
Well, [E] I quit in those days and my redneck ways
And I, [D]
oh, change is gonna do me [G] good
You [B] better get back, talky cat, living in the city ain't a where it's at
[E]
Trying to find gold in a silver mine
And it's [D] like trying to drink whiskey [D] from a bottle [G] of wine
Well, [D] I read some books and I read some magazines
About [G]
those high-class ladies down in New Orleans
And all [D] the fools back home, well, said I was a fool
They [G] said, oh, leaving the Lord is the golden rule
They [B] said, get back, talky cat, better get back to the woods
But [E] I quit in those days and my redneck ways
[D] And I, oh, change is gonna do [G] me good

But [E] I quit in those days and my redneck ways
And [D] I, oh, change is gonna do [G] me good
They [D] said, stay at home, boy, you gotta find a farm
[G]
Living in the city, boy, is gonna break your heart
[D] But how can you stay when your heart says no?
How
[G] can you stop when your [G] feet say go?
You [B] better get back, talky cat, better get back to the woods
Well, [E] I quit in those days and my redneck ways
And [D] I, oh, change is gonna do [G] me good
They
[D] said, [B] get back, talky cat, living in the city ain't a where it's at
[E] It's like, dry my gold and I sell my mind
It's [D]
like, live with whiskey, oh, from a bottle [G] of wine
[D]
Get back, talky cat, get back, talky cat, get [G] back
