[B] [C] [C#] [D] [E]
This is gonna be hit and miss.
There might be some mistakes on the show.
I'll tell you what, there's gonna [A] be some really good music.
Make no mistake, stay tuned for the first collaboration between Buck Owens [C] and Merle [C#m] Haggard in 30 years.
In over three decades since the boys from Bakersfield, Buck Owens and Merle Haggard shared the same stage.
Stormy Warren made a trip to California for the collaboration [Bm] that turned into a legendary concert.
[B] When Merle Haggard decided to gather a few of his Bakersfield buddies for a music video, little did he know he was creating one of country music's most historic nights.
It just kind of wrote itself.
[E] [D#] Yeah.
[G] It just kind of, I had a song.
[N] It's kind of about Bakersfield and in fact every other line.
It is about Bakersfield.
It's really could be called Bakersfield, but it's called [C] Beer Can Hill.
[Gm] [C]
It's a natural for Buck and I and Dwight [Bm] to do it.
And [N] then it was a natural to do the video here in town while I was doing the show here, while we had the people get it up.
And everything sort of, all the dominoes fell into place because we needed all the participation of all the people, I guess, that I ever knew in my life in order to pull this little video off.
We almost had to have a concert around it to make it work.
Not only are they living legends, but they're two people that had a profound impact on my musical life.
And it was an honor to be asked to come up and do this with them.
I'd like to say it's an honor to be on the stage with these two guys tonight.
Well, that just leaves me, don't it?
[F#] And I'm damn glad to be here.
[G] Not only did the show unite the troubadours of the Bakersfield sound, it was the first time Buck and Merle have shared a stage in over 30 years.
No more [C] loneliness, only [G] happiness.
Love's gonna live here again.
Tonight to me is a very special night.
It's, uh, to be [N] able to be here with Hag and see all these thousands of people out here and to know that, I gotta tell you something, this town is just as excited.
I've never seen it more excited than this tonight.
What do y'all want to hear?
As for the definition of their famous Bakersfield sound, Buck made it plain and simple.
It's what [B] Merle and I do.
You hear [A] that?
And a cryin' time [E] for me had [Em] just [A] begun.
No Merle [B] and Buck reunion would be complete without Bonnie Owens, [N] the one woman who can claim both legends as ex-husbands.
We're both married to her.
She's right out there.
[B] She's the reason, probably, that [N] all this, uh, not the reason, she's been one of the avenues of communication between Buck and I for years. Yeah, always.
If Buck wanted me to know something, he'd tell Bonnie.
With Buck's first public performance in three years and the trio's first [D] collaboration ever under their belt, is there [A] a chance for more from the boys of Bakersfield?
I don't [C#] think that we can rule anything out, as the politicians [A] say.
We [N] don't know which door.
We're happy to be here.
I'm happy to be here and be part of it.
Same here.
It's a great thing.
It's a great thing for us.
I think it's a great thing for me personally, you know, to be involved in something that this whole town loves so much.
We [A] represent the end results of all the years of country music in this town.
[E] [A]
[E] Let me marry you [A] again.
This is gonna be hit and miss.
