Streets Of Bakersfield (CHORDS) by Dwight Yoakam
[Intro]~
A D E A D E A
[Verse 1]~
A D
I came here looking for something
E A
I couldn't find anywhere else
D E
Hey,, I'm not trying to be nobody
A
I just want a chance to be myself
D E
I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin'
A
Yes I've worn blisters on my heels
D E
Trying to find me something better
A
Here on the streets of Bakersfield
[Chorus]~
D E
Hey you don't know me,, but you don't like me
A
You say you care less how I feel
D E
But how many of you that sit and judge me
A
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield..?
[Instrumental]~
A D E A D E A D E A
[Verse 2]~
A D E
Spent sometime in San Francisco
A
I spent a night there in the can
D E
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell
A
I took fifteen dollars from that man
D E
Left him my watch and my old house key
A
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
D E
Then I thanked him as I was leaving
A
And I headed out for Bakersfield
[Chorus]~
D E
Hey you don't know me,, but you don't like me
A
You say you care less how I feel
D E
But how many of you that sit and judge me
A
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield..?
D E
Hey you don't know me,, but you don't like me
A
You say you care less how I feel
D E
But how many of you that sit and judge me
A
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield..?
D E
How many of you that sit and judge me
A D A
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield..?
