[Intro] A D E A D E A [Verse 1]
A                       D
I came here looking for something

E                        A
I couldn't find anywhere else

                            D    E
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody

                             A
I just want a chance to be myself

                               D       E
I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin'

                             A
Yes I've worn blisters on my heels

                            D      E
Trying to find me something better

                             A 
Here on the streets of Bakersfield
[Chorus]
                                     D       E     
Hey you don't know me, but you don't like me

                            A
You say you care less how I feel

                                 D        E
But how many of you that sit and judge me

                                      A
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
[Instrumental] A D E A D E A D E A [Verse 2]
A                         D     E
Spent sometime in San Francisco

                             A
I spent a night there in the can

                                D         E     
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell

                                 A
I took fifteen dollars from that man

                             D         E
Left him my watch and my old house key

                                   A
Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal

                            D       E
Then I thanked him as I was leaving

                           A
And I headed out for Bakersfield
[Chorus]
                                     D       E     
Hey you don't know me, but you don't like me

                            A
You say you care less how I feel

                                 D        E
But how many of you that sit and judge me

                                      A
Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

                                     D       E     
Hey you don't know me, but you don't like me

                            A
You say you care less how I feel

                                 D        E
But how many of you that sit and judge me

                                 A
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

                             D        E
How many of you that sit and judge me

                                 A      D  A
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
