Chris Hillman Bakersfield Bound written by Chris Hillman

Herb Pedersen Steve Hill

A E D A

I was the youngest boy in a family of four

D A E

We lived in Oklahoma the wind whistled thru our door

A E D A

We scratched out a living in the dirt and and the clay

D A E A

I never will forget it untill my dying days

A E D A

The dust storms they came at us the sky turned cold and black

D A E

We packed up our belonging and never looked back

A E D A

We rode out west toward the sun just a heartbeat away

D A E A

I never will forget it untill my dying days

A D E F#m

We were Bakersfield Bound and the California dream

D A E

Down the road lay the promised lands our fields would all turn green

A D E F#m

We were Bakersfield bound like so many gone before

D A E A

Just to cross our River Jordan and reach the other shore

A E

When we first set eyes on The San Joaquin

D A

Was like a friend we always knew

D A E

The gates swing open so far and wide even God could drive thru

A E D A

We worked the crops from dawn to dust shared along the way

D A E A

I never will forget it untill my dying days

A D E F#m

We were Bakersfield Bound and the California dream

D A E

Down the road lay the promised lands our fields had all turned green

A D E F#m

We were Bakersfield bound like so many gone before

D A E A

Just to cross our River Jordan and reach the other shore

D A E A

Crossed our River Jordan to reach the other shore
