Verse 1:
F#5 Ab5 Ab5 [continue]
Summer turns the stove on
And fun begins to cook
Barefoot walks in Baltimore
With empty pocketbook
Laugh at sizzling sidewalks
Don't step on the cracks
Old folks try to catch their breath
As children catch their jacks

Barefoot in Baltimore
G5 G5
Heel and toe with you
F#5 Ab5 Ab5 F#5 Ab5 Ab5

Verse 2:
G5 A5 A5 [continue]
Baltimore is music
Dancing in the street
Half-chewed Dubble Bubble
Tugging at our feet
Melted tar in crosswalks
Crab shells in the park
Pavement frying our poor toes
Until long after dark
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
E5 C5
When night comes we can go walking
G5 A5
On the shores of Chesapeake Bay
A5 D5
A silence tailored for talking
Ab5 Ab5
And a love with so much to say
[repeat intro]
[repeat chorus 1]
Coda [repeat to fade]:
(vibes solo)
