capo 2nd fret G C D i came here looking for something D Dsus4 G I couldn't find anywhere else G C D Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody, D Dsus4 G Just want a chance to be myself I've done a thousand miles of thumbin', Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels Trying to find me something better On the streets of Bakersfield Chorus: G C D You don't know me but you don't like me, D Dsus4 G You say you care less how I feel G C D How many of you that sit and judge me D Dsus4 G C G Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield Spent some time in San Francisco, Spent a night there in the can They threw this drunk man in my jail cell, I took fifteen dollars from that man I left him my watch and my old house keys, Don't like folks thinking that I'd steal Then I thanked him as he was sleeping, And I headed out for Bakersfield Chorus
