C5                                               F5        C5 
Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be 
G5                                         F5           C5 
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee 
C5                                            F5             C5 
And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for 
G5                                     C5 
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore 
G5                                                      F5        C5 
Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights 
C5                                                     G5           
She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night 
C5                                         F5               C5 
Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for 
G5                                   C5 
And I kind of like the Streets of Baltimore 
(the second part follows the same chord pattern) 
Then I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine 
And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene 
And every night when I'd come home with every muscle sore 
She'd drag me through the Streets of Baltimore 
Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be 
Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me 
Now I'm-a-going back on that same train that brought me here before 
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore 
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
