G5               C5
Well, I sold my farm to take my woman
G5                   C5
Where she longed to be
   D5            
We left our kin and all our friends
     C5              G5
Back there in Tennessee
  G5                    C5
I bought those one-way tickets
           G5               C5
That she'd often begged me for
     D5                              G5
They took us to the streets of Baltimore


    D5       
Her heart was filled with gladness
        C5              G5
Just to see those city lights
    G5        
She swore the prettiest place on earth
                 D5
Was Baltimore at night
  G5                  C5
A man feels proud to give his woman
G5                  C5
What she's longing for
      D5                               G5
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore


  G5            C5
I got myself a factory job
  G5            C5
I ran an old machine
  D5     
I bought a little cottage
     C5              G5
In a neighborhood serene
    G5                C5
And every night when I'd come home
     G5            C5
With every muscle sore
      D5                                   G5
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore


  D5 
I did my best to bring her back
   C5                 G5
To where she used to be
    G5 
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights
                    D5
More than she loved me
         G5             C5
So I'm a-going back on that same train
     G5                 C5
That brought me here before
         D5                              G5
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
         D5              C5               G5
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
