Chords for Buck Owens Dwight Yoakam Streets of Bakersfield (1988)

[G] _ We're back again to the Academy of Country Music's greatest hits.
[C]
And several of those hits [D] are duets with very [G] interesting histories.
Like this one.
It seems that Dwight Yoakam, right [C] from the time that he was a [D] little fella with holes in his jeans,
[Am] he was a big fan and admirer of Buck Owens.
So when he grew up and started making a career in music,
Dwight went all the way across the country to Bakersfield, California, to sing a song [Bm] with Buck.
They [A] recorded it, and it went on [D] to become a very big country hit that they sang for us right [A] here on the 1988 Awards Show.
