Honky Cat Elton John
Intro: D-G
[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
Well I [E7]quit those days, and my redneck ways-and-a
[D7]Mmm mmm mmm mmm oh the change is gonna do me good[G]
[B7]Get back honky cat, living in the city ain't where its at,
It's like, [E7]trying to find gold in a silver mine, its like
[D7]Trying to drink whisky, from a bottle of wine[G]
[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
Well I [E7]quit those days, and my redneck ways-and-a
[D7]Mmm mmm mmm mmm oh the change is gonna do me good[G]

[B7]Get back honky cat, better get back to the woods
Well I [E7]quit those days, and my redneck ways-and-a

[D7]They said stay at home, boy you got to tend the farm,
[G]Living in the city boy is, gonna break your heart
[D7]But, how can you stop when your heart says no, ah-ah
[G]How can you stop when your feet say go
[B7]Get back honky cat, better get back to the woods
Well I [E7]quit those days, and my redneck ways-and-a
