[Intro 1]
[D][G][Em][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
When I [D]look back, boy,
I must have been [G]green
Bopping in the country,
fishing in [D]a stream
Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign
[G]Until I saw your city lights,
honey, I was [D]blind[G]

[Verse 2]
They [Bm]said, [B]get back, honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well, [E]I quit those days
and my redneck ways
And, [A]mmhm- [D]hm- hm, oh,
change is gonna do me good
[G]

[Verse 3]
You [B]better get back, honky cat
Living in the city ain't where it's at
It's like [E]trying to find gold in a silver mine
It's [D]like trying to drink whiskey,
oh, from a bottle of wine
[G]

[Verse 4]
Well, [D]I read some books,
and I read some magazines
About [G]those high- class ladies
down in New Or[Em]leans
And all [D]the folks back home,
well, said I was a fool
They [G]said, oh,
"Believe in [D]the Lord" is [G]the [D]golden [G]rule

[Verse 5]
[B]They said, get back, honky cat
Better get back to the woods
But [E]I quit those d[Em]ays and
my red[E]neck ways
An[D]d, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh,

[Interlude 1]

They [B]said, get back, honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well, [E]I quit those d[Em]ays and

And, [D]oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
change is gonna do me good
[G]

[Verse 7]
They [Em]said, [D]stay at home, boy,
you gotta tend the farm
[G]Living in the [D]city, [G]boy, is,[D]
[G]is going to break your heart
[D]But how can you stay when
your heart says no?
How can [G]you stop when
your feet say go?

[Verse 8]
You [Bm]better [B]get back, honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well, [E]I quit those days and
my [Em]red n[E]eck ways
[D]And, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh,
the change is gonna do me good
