A Bar In Bakersfield chords

[INTRO]
[A]

[VERSE 1]
[A]Some years ago some stars and I f[E]ormed this little ba[A]nd
They went o[D]n to be somebody now I'm their greatest f[A]an

[A]This town had a new sound and we fo[E]und it on a gi[A]g
[D]God bless the boys that used it and went off to make it b[A]ig
[D]I could've left and done it too but I co[A]uldn't leave L[A]ucille
[A]'Cause she's the dad-gum bar maid in a b[E]ar in Bak[A]ersfield

[CHORUS]
[D]Hey, I could have busted out some yea[A]rs ago
But Lu[E]Lu kept beggin' me not to g[A]o
