Streets Of Baltimore Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
Well [D]I sold the farm [G]to take my
woman [D]where she longed to [G]be
We [A]left our kin and all our friends
back [G]there in Tenness[D]ee
And I bought those one way [G]tickets
she had [D]often begged me [G]for
And they [A]took us to the streets of Baltimore
[D]

[Verse 2]
Well her [A]heart was filled with gladness
when she [D]saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on
earth was Baltimore at [A]night
Well [D]a man feels proud to [G]give his
woman [D]what she's longing [G]for
And I [A]kind of like the streets of [D]Baltimore

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][G][A][D]

[Verse 3]
Then I [D]got myself [G]a factory job,
[D]I ran an old machine
[G]And I bou[A]ght a little cottage
in [G]a neighborhood se[D]rene
And every night when [G]I'd come home
with [D]every muscle [G]sore
She'd [A]drag me through
the streets of [D]Baltimore

[Verse 4]
[D]Well I did[A] my best to bring her
back to [D]what she used to be
Then I soon learned she loved those bright
lights more than she loved [A]me
Now I'm a [D]going back on [G]that same train
that [D]brought me here be[G]fore
While my [A]baby walks the streets of Baltimore
[D]Whi[A]le [D]my baby walk[A]s

[Outro 1]
the streets of [D]Baltimore
[A][D]
