Verse 1

G         D                 C         G                        
I was the youngest boy in a family of four
   C            G                                 D
We lived in Oklahoma  the wind whistled thru our  door
   G               D              C               G 
We scratched out a living in the dirt and and the clay
  C             G        D            G
I never will forget it until my dying days  


Verse 2

G                    D               C                  G  
The dust storms they came at us the sky turned cold and black
   C              G                         D
We packed up our belonging and never looked back
   G              D                     C         G
We rode out  west toward the sun just a heartbeat away
  C             G        D            G
I never will forget it until my dying days  


Chorus

        G           C             D          Em
We were Bakersfield Bound and the California dream
         C            G                                        D
Down the road lay the promised lands our fields would all turn green
        G           C             D         Em
We were Bakersfield bound like so many gone before  
        C               G          D               G
Just to cross our River Jordan and reach the other shore


Solo
(Last two lines of the Chours)


Verse 3

G                             D                      C                G
When we first set eyes on The San Joaquin was like a friend we always knew 
    C                G                                  D
The gates swing open so far & wide even God could drive thru
   G                     D            C                G 
We worked the crops from dawn to dust shared along the way
  C             G        D            G
I never will forget it until my dying days  


Chorus

        G           C             D          Em
We were Bakersfield Bound and the California dream
         C            G                                        D
Down the road lay the promised lands our fields would all turn green
        G           C             D         Em
We were Bakersfield bound like so many gone before  
        C               G          D               G
Just to cross our River Jordan and reach the other shore


Outro

        C               G          D               G
Just to cross our River Jordan and reach the other shore
