When I look back boy I must have been green

 4  -3b  4 -3b   4   5
Bop-pin in the coun-try, 

  6   5   6 -6   5
Fish-ing in a stream

  6   5  6   4  6   5   -7 -7 -7   6  6  -6 
Look-in for an an-swer try-in to find a sign

 4  5 -4  5    4   5  6   -6
Un-til I saw your ci-ty lights 

 5  6  5  4   -4

Bet-ter get back to the woods

 -4  5  -6    6     5   4  -4  -6   6   5
Well I quit those days and my red-neck ways

 4  -7  -7   -7   5   5  -4  4 -4   4

You bet-ter get back hon-ky cat

 -6  5 -6  5  -6  5   -4    -4    4   5
Liv-in in the ci-ty ain't where it's at

 -4    5    -6   6  -6    5  -4 -3b -6  6    5
It's like try’n to find gold in a  sil-ver mine

 4     5   -6    6   -6
It's like try’n to drink 

  5   -4   5 -4  5   5  -4   5
whis-key from a bot-tle of wine

 5   6  -7   -6    6    5
Well I read some books and 

6  -4   5    -6 6  -6
I read some mag-a-zines

-4  5    6     7     5  -4   6
A-bout those high class la-dies 

  5  -4  7  -7   5
down in new or-leans

 6  -6   6   -8    -7    6   -6
And all the folks back home well, 

  6   -8 -7  6  5  -6   5     6   7
They said I was a fool they said oh, 

-6   7   -4  -4   5  -6  5   6  -6   5
be-lieve in the lord is the gol-den rule

  6   -6   -7  -6   6   -7    
They said stay at home boy, 

 6   6  5   6    6   -6

 7   -6  7  -6  7 -7  5
Liv-ing in the ci-ty boy, 

 5  -5 -4   5    6    -6
is gon-na break your heart

 6   -7  6   -6   6
But how can you stay, 

  5   -4    -7   -6   6
when your heart says no

 7   -7  -7   8   -6    6    7   -7  5
How can you stop when your feet say go

ENJOY!!
