Intro

I was (G) takin' a walk through a (C) small country (G) city

Just seem' what (D) there was to (G) see

I sat down to read a (C) historical (G) marker

When I felt someone (D) sit down by (G) me

He leaned on the tank that was (C) helping his (G) breathing

Said it's bad when your (D) body is (G) gone

I said this is sure a nice (C) town that you've (G) got here

He said yeah, but there's (D) no place like (G) home

I wish I could see Bakers(C)field

Where the (G) oil wells are pumpin'

The oranges are bloomin'

And the grapevine winds down from the (D) hill

When (G) I close my eyes I can (G7) touch the clear skies

At the (C) corner where I used to (G) live

Oh I wish I could (D) see Bakers(G)field

He said you (G) don't ever know where (C) life's gonna (G) lead you

When you go ramblin' (D) off down the (G) track

Sometimes I wish I'd never (C) left Cali(G)fornia

Then I couldn't (D) want to go (G) back

Spoken by Merle Haggard:

He said "You know, I used to be a well-known country singer

Made my first record back in 1953

At one time Buck Owens was my lead guitar player

And ol' Hag once wrote a song about me"

I wish I could see Bakers(C)field

Where the (G) oil wells are pumpin'

The oranges are bloomin'

And the grapevine winds down from the (D) hill

When (G) I close my eyes I can (G7) touch the clear skies

At the (C) corner where I used to (G) live

Oh I wish I could (D) see Bakers(G)field

Steel Solo

Oh I wish I could (D) see Bakers(G)field
