(Capo on 3)
C F C F
I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
G F C
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee
C F C F
I bought those one-way tickets she had often begged me for
G C
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
G F C
Her heart was filled with laughter when she saw those city lights
C G
She said the prettiest place on earth is Baltimore at night
C F C F
Oh well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
G C
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore
C F C F
Well I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
G F C
I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
C F C F
Yet every night when I came home with every muscle sore
G C
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore
G F C
Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be
C G
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me
C F C F
Now I'm a going back on that same train that brought me here before
G C
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
G C
Yes my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
