   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
