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
