INTRO
D
I came here looking for something,
EA
I couldn't find anywhere else.
D
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody,
EA
Just want a chance to be myself.
D
I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin',
EA
Yes I've worn blisters on my heels.
D
Tryin' to find me something better,
EAA
Here on the streets of Bakersfield.
D
Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me.
EA
Say you care less how I feel.
D
But how many of you that sit and judge me,
E A (D E A 1st time only)
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
DEADA
INSTRUMENTAL
D
Spent some time in San Francisco,
EA
I spent a night there in the can.
D
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell,
EA
I took fifteen dollars from that man.
D
Left him my watch and my old house keys,
EA
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal.
D
Then I thanked him as I was leaving,
EAA
And I headed out for Bakersfield.

AD
How many of you that sit and judge me,
EAA
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
