Honky Cat - Elton John - 45 bpm

 
G
When I 

look back 

boy I must have been 

green

 
C
Bopping in the 

country, 

fishing in a 

stream

 
G
Looking for an 

answer 

trying to find a 

sign

 
C
Until I saw your 

city lights 

honey I was 

blind

	They said 
E
get back 

honky cat 

better get back to the 

woods

	Well I 
A
quit those 

days and my 

redneck 

ways

	
G
mm-hmm-

hmm-mm-mm. 

oh, the 

change is gonna do me good 

	
C

	You better 
E
get back 

honky cat, 

living in the city ain't 

where it's at

	It's like 
A
trying to find 

gold in a 

silver 

mine

	It's like 
G
trying to drink 

whiskey, 

oh, 

from a bottle of wine

	
C

Well I 
G
read some 

books and I 

read some maga

zines

About those 
C
high class 

ladies down in 

New Or

leans

And all 
G
the folks back 

home well, 

said I was a 

fool

They said 
C
oh, be

lieve in the Lord 

is the golden 

rule

They said 
G
stay at 

home 

boy, you gotta tend the 

farm

 
C
Living in the 

city boy, is 

going to break your 

heart

I said 
G
how can you 

stay, when your 

heart says 

no?

 
C
How can you 

stop when your 

feet say 

go?

They said 
G

C

They said 
G

back honky cat
