[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
