INTRO

                        D
I came here looking for something,
E                        A
I couldn't find anywhere else.
                            D
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody,
E                          A
Just want a chance to be myself.


                               D
I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin',
E                            A
Yes I've worn blisters on my heels.
                            D
Tryin' to find me something better,
E                            A     D E A
Here on the streets of Bakersfield.


                                     D
Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me.
E                       A
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?

INSTRUMENTAL


                           D
Spent some time in San Francisco,
E                            A
I spent a night there in the can.
                                D
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell,
E                                A
I took fifteen dollars from that man.
                             D 
Left him my watch and my old house keys,
E                                  A
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal.
                            D
Then I thanked him as I was leaving,
E                          A     D E A
And I headed out for Bakersfield.
