Elton John – Honky Cat (Ukulele)

C7                                    C
When I look back boy I must have been green

F
Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream

C7                    C
Looking for an answer trying to find a sign

F
Until I saw your city lights honey I was blind

          A7
They said get back honky cat

       D7
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways

C7     C                            F
mmmmmm oh the change is gonna do me good

           A7
You better get back honky cat

          D7
It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine

          C7                      C                    F
It's like trying to drink whisky, oh, from a bottle of wine

       C7                    C
Well I read some books and I read some magazines

            F
About those high class ladies down in New Orleans

            C7
And all the folks back home well, said I was a fool

          F
They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule

          A7
They said get back honky cat

       D7

          C7
They said stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm

F
Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart

    C7
But how can you stay, when your heart says no?

F
How can you stop when your feet say go?
