Beer Can Hill
By Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam

Capo 2

A                                D              A         E  A  
Well I learned how to walk and I learned how to run in Bakersfield
A                        D          A       A   E  A 
Should’ve done time over things I’d done in Bakersfield
A                 D           A          E  A  
I tasted my first taste of romance in Bakersfield
  A                          D              A           E  A
I learned how to fight and I learned how to dance in Bakersfield


Chorus:
           A    D   A
Dancin’ on beer can hill
            A  E   A 
Overlookin’ Bakersfield
            A  D     A
Remembering my first thrill
           A    E   A
Dancin’ on Beer Can Hill

I made part of my livin in a honky tonk bar in Bakersfield
Picked a little cotton and a lotta guitar in Bakersfield
Well you couldn’t do better but you won’t do bad in Bakersfield
Slow dancin’ out here is sort of a fad in Bakersfield

Solo

Key Change  - Move Capo to 3 and play same songs

I drank a lot of beer since I was a kid in Bakersfield
Did a little time over things I did in Bakersfield
10 years later made me of the year in Bakersfield
And I’m duckin and dodgin’ and dancin’ out here in Bakersfield
