[D]
[G]
[D] When I look back, I'm going muddy and green
[G] Barfing in the country, whistling and screaming
[D] Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign
[G] Until I saw your city light, [G] honey I was blind
[B] You said, get back, honky cat, you better get back to the woods
[E] But, quitting those days and my redneck ways
[D] I'm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Oh, change is [G] gonna do me good, huh
You [B] better get back, honky cat, living in the city ain't a wary sight
[E] Trying to find gold in a silver mine
It's [D] like trying to drink whiskey
Oh, from a [G] bottle of wine
Well, [D] I read some books and I read some magazines
[G] About those high-class ladies down in New Orleans
And [D] all the fools back home, well, see, I was a fool
They [G] said, oh, believing the Lord is the golden rule
[B] You said, get back, honky cat, you better get back to the woods
[E] But, quitting those days and my redneck ways
[D] I'm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Oh, change is gonna [G] do me good
[D]
[G] You
[D]
[G]
[B] said, get back, honky cat, you better get back to the woods
[E] Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
[D] And I, oh, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Oh, change is [G] gonna do me good
They
[D] said, stay at home, boy, you gotta turn the phone
[G] Living in the city, boy, it's gonna break your [D] heart
But, how can you stay when your heart says no
[G] How can you stop when your feet say go
[B] You said, get back, honky cat, you better get back to the woods
[E] Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
[D] And I, oh, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Oh, change is [G] gonna do me good
[Gm] [B] You better get back, honky cat, living in the city ain't a where it's [E] at
It's like, blind, blind, go down, I sell my [D] mind
It's like, wine, stiff, whiskey, and, oh, from [G] a bottle of wine
Get
[D] back, honky cat, get back, honky cat, get [G] back
[D] Get back, honky cat, get back, [Bm] honky cat, get [G] back
[D]
[G]
[D] Woo!
[G]
[D]
[G] [Gm] [G]
[D] Get back, honky cat, get back, get back, [G] honky cat, woo!
[C] Honky cat!
