Elton John - Honky Cat

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
E7
well i quit those days , and my redneck ways – and – A
D7 G
mmm mmm mmm mmm oh the change is gonna do me good

get back honky cat , living in the city ain’t where its at ,
it’s like , trying to find gold in a silver mine , its like
trying to drink whisky , from a bottle of wine

well i read some books and some magazines about those
high class ladies down in new orleans and all the
folks back home , well , they said i was a fool , they said
leave them alone , is the golden rule

they said stay at home , boy you got to tend the farm ,
living in the city boy is , gonna break your heart
but , how can you stop when your heart says no , ah – ah
how can you stop when your feet say go

D7
get back , honky cat , get back honky cat , get back
G
woo
