Intro:

D (3 bars)
A - G -- D/A -- D

Oh, oh, oh
D/F#
Woke up today
G                 Bm/A-A - G -- D
Feeling the way i always do
Oh, oh, oh
D/F#
Hungry for something
     G#m7b5-E/G# -
That i can't eat
     F#7/Bb
Then i hear the beat

     Bm
That rhythm of town
       Gm/Bb           Bb7 --
Starts calling me down
D/A
It's like a message from
G#m7b5-E/G# - D/A
High above
Oh, oh, oh
A     -    D/A -
Pulling me out
       G
To the smiles and the
        Em9  - A --
Streets that i love


D/A   -  A7--Dsus2/4--D
Good morning Baltimore
                    Gadd9-G -
Every day's like an open door
                 Dsus4-D
Every night is a fantasy
                     D/A-Asus - A --
Every sound's like a symphony

D/A   -  A7--Dsus2/4-D - D7/C
Good morning Baltimore
                    G/B
And some day when i take to the floor
    Gm/Bb                     D/A A
The world's gonna wake up and see
              D
Baltimore and me


A - G -- D/A -- D


Oh, oh, oh
D/F#
Look at my hair
      G                    Bm/A-A - G -- D
What "do" can compare with mine today?
Oh, oh, oh,
D/F#                      G#m7b5-E/G# -
I've got my hairspray and radio
    F#7/Bb
I'm ready to go

    Bm
The rats on the street
    Gm/Bb              Bb7 --
All dance round my feet
     D/A
They seem to say
             G#m7b5-E/G# - D/A
"Tracy, it's up to you"
So, oh, oh
A      -      D/A -
Don't hold me back
         G                 Em9   -   A --
'Cause today all my dreams will come true


D/A   -  A7--Dsus2/4-D 
Good morning Baltimore
                        Gadd9 -  G 
There's the flasher who lives next door
                       Dsus4-D
There's the bum on his bar room stool
                        D/A-Asus  -  A --
They wish me luck on my way to school

D/A   -  A7--Dsus2/4-D - D7/C
Good morning Baltimore
                    G/B
And some day when i take to the floor
    Gm/Bb                     D/A A
The world's gonna wake up and see
              D
Baltimore and me


  Bb
I know every step
  F/A
I know every song
  Gm7                        Gm/A-F/A -
I know there's a place where i belong
  C                          G/B
I see all those party lights shining ahead
   Am7   -   G/B -
So someone invite me
  Asus4
Before i drop dead!


A -- D

So, Oh, Oh
D/F#
Give me a chance
            G                      Bm/A-A - G -- D
'Cause when i start to dance i'm a movie star
Oh, oh, oh
D/F#                   G#m7b5-E/G# -
Something inside of me makes me move
     F#7b9/Bb
When i hear the groove

   Bm
My ma tells me no
       Gm/Bb            Bb7 --
But my feet tell me go!
D/A                   G#m7b5-E/G#   D/A
It's like a drummer inside my heart
Oh, oh, oh
A      -      D/A -
Don't make me wait
         G     -    Em7    -   D/A A7sus -- D/A A7sus -- A#7sus
One more moment for my life to start...
