C5     G5                   C5 
These dance hall girls,  they'll treat you kind 
C5                                  F5                        C5 
They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds 
        F5        C5   F5              E5   F5 
They'll fill you up,  with lipstick lies 
F5                      C5   
Then they'll put you down son 
G5            A5    D5 
Don't be surprised 
D5           C5             G5                F5    C5  G5  C5 
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? 
C5                    G5             C5 
I held her mountains, I kissed her plains 
C5                       F5                     C5 
I touched her sunshine, Lord then I drank her rains 
      F5        C5   F5            E5   F5 
But I went too far, I broke too fast 
F5                  C5 
I thought I had a winner picked 
G5             A5     D5 
But I came in last, again 
D5           C5             G5                F5    C5  G5  C5 
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? 

***Refrain: 
E5                           F5              C5 
I must have chosen the wrong season to come down 
E5                    F5                G5 
I never realized they call this sacred ground 
G5           C5     G5                  C5    
My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind 
C5                    F5                    C5 
I sent a letter home,  but this all takes time you know 
        F5        C5     F5                 E5   F5 
I gotta get some money,  I wanna go back home 
F5                    C5 
But these dance hall girls 
C5           G5               A5    D5 
Know how to make a man feel alone 
D5           C5             G5                F5    C5  G5  C5 
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? 
 
***Solo Plays through one verse 

**play refrian 
G5           C5     G5                  C5 
My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind
 C5                                  F5                        C5 
They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds 
        F5        C5   F5              E5   F5 
They'll fill you up,  with lipstick lies 
F5                C5 
These dance hall girls say 
     G5                    A5         D5 
They can't stand to see a grown man cry 
D5           C5             G5               F5 
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? 
F5           C5             G5               F5 
Is this the way it always is here in Montreal? 
F5           C5             G5               F5     C5  G5 
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? 
F5  C5  G5    F5  C5  G5  C5
