Bakersfield Bound

A         E                 D   
I was the youngest boy in a 
      A
family of four
   D            A            
We lived in Oklahoma  the wind 
                     E
whistled thru our  door
   A               E           
We scratched out a living in the 
   D               A
dirt and and the clay
D               A      E        
I never will forget it untill my
       A
 dying days
A                    E           
The dust storms they came at us  
    D                   A
the sky turned cold and black
   D              A               
We packed up our belonging and 
          E
never looked back
   A              E            
We rode out  west toward the sun 
         D         A
just a heartbeat away
D                A     E        
I never will forget it untill my
       A
 dying days

We were Bakersfield Bound and the 
E          F#m
California dream
         D            A           
Down the road lay the promised 
                             E
lands our fields would all turn 
green
        A           D             
We were Bakersfield bound like so 
E         F#m
many gone before
        D               A          
Just to cross our River Jordan and 
E               A
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         
The gates swing open so far and 
                          E
wide   even God could drive thru
   A                     E     
We worked the crops from dawn to 
       D                A
dust shared along the way
D               A      E        
I never will forget it untill my
       A
 dying days
