"Baltimore"

From: marc@owlnet.rice.edu (Marc Bennett Hirsh)

        G               C
Well, I sold my farm to take my woman
G                   C
Where she longed to be
   D
We left our kin and all our friends
     C              G
Back there in Tennessee
  G                    C
I bought those one-way tickets
           G               C
That she'd often begged me for
     D                              G
They took us to the streets of Baltimore

    D
Her heart was filled with gladness
        C              G
Just to see those city lights
    G
She swore the prettiest place on earth
                 D
Was Baltimore at night
  G                  C
A man feels proud to give his woman
G                  C
What she's longing for
      D                               G
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore

  G            C
I got myself a factory job
  G            C
I ran an old machine
  D
I bought a little cottage
     C              G
In a neighborhood serene
    G                C
And every night when I'd come home
     G            C
With every muscle sore
      D                                   G
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

  D
I did my best to bring her back
   C                 G
To where she used to be
    G
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights
                    D
More than she loved me
         G             C
So I'm a-going back on that same train
     G                 C
That brought me here before
         D                              G
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
         D              C               G
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
