[C]
[D]When I look

[Verse 1]
back,
boy, I must have been [G]green
Bopping in the country,
[C]fis[G]hin[C]g in a s[G]tre[C]am[G][C]
[D]Looking for an answer,
[G]try[D]ing to find a sign
[G]Until I saw you[D]r cit[G]y lig[D]hts,
[G]honey, I was blind
[A]The[Bb]y said,

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

[Verse 3]
[B]
Get back, honky cat
Living in the city ain't where it's at
It's like try[E]ing to find
gold in a silver [D]mine
It's like trying to drink [E]whis[B]key
[D]fro[G]m a[C] bottle of[B] wine[D]
[G]

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

[Verse 5]
get back, honky cat
You better get back to the wood[F#]s
[B]Well, I q[E]uit those days and
my redneck ways
And, [D]ooh the change is [E]gonna do [G]me [Em]good[G]

Living in the city, boy,

[G]How can you stop whe[B]n
