Merle Haggard - Beer Can Hill guitar chord

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
