Honky Cat! Written by the great songwriting duo of Elton John & Bernie Taupin, the opening track on Elton's fifth studio album, Honky Château, released in 1972.
Elton was my first crush, and I still love him! I hope you'll enjoy my ukulele attempt at this Elton classic...it was so much fun to take on!

Key of G
INTRO: D7 D G
VERSE 1: (same chords for all verses)
D7 D
When I look back, boy I must've been green
G
Bopping in the country, fishing in the stream
D7 D
Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign
G
Until I saw your city lights, honey I was blind
CHORUS 1: (same chords for all choruses)
B7
They said get back honky cat
Better get back to the woods
E7
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
D7 D G
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, oh the change is gonna do me good
INT: D7 D G
CHORUS 2:
You better get back honky cat
Living in the city ain't where it's at
It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine
It's like trying to drink whisky, oh, from a bottle of wine
INT: D7 D G
VERSE 2:
Well I read some books and I read some magazines
About those high class ladies down in New Orleans
And all the fools back home well, said I was a fool
They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule
(repeat C1
INT: D7 D G
(repeat C1)
VERSE 3:
They said stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm
Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart
But how can you stay when your heart says no?
How can you stop when your feet say go?
(repeat C1 & C2)
OUTRO:
D7 D G
Get back honky cat...get back honky cat...get back....wooo! x 3
