[Intro]
G D A Bm G D A D
[Verse]
G D A Bm
She was born in Central Cali- fornia
G D A
Just as sweet as the fruit on her daddy's farm
G D A Bm
And my best friend said man I gotta warn ya
G D A D
She's a city girl with a little country charm
G D A Bm
We all met up out in San Jose
G D A
With the top down we headed for the bay
G D A Bm
And with her hair blowin' in the breeze
G D A D
She leaned and whispered my name is Tiffa- ny
[Chorus]
G D G D
But I called her Bakers- feild and it would always make her smile
G D Em A
Don't know where she is to- day but she was mine for a- while
G D F# Bm A
Every time I drive through the California hills
G D A
I find my mind is on Bakersfield
[Instrumental]
G D A Bm G D A D
G D A Bm
A couple sunsets and mimosa mornings
G D A
I got more than my share of kisses on the beach
G D A Bm
Till Sunday found us too early with out warning
G D A D
And she was once in my arms and now she's outta reach
[Chorus]
G D G D
But I called her Bakers- feild and it would always make her smile
G D Em A
Don't know where she is to- day but she was mine for a- while
G D F# Bm A
Every time I drive through the California hills
G D A D
I find my mind is on Bakersfield
G D F# Bm A
Yeah, every time I drive through the California hills
G D A
I find my mind is on Bakersfield
[Outro]
G D A BmBm,
Bakersfield
