The Streets Of Baltimore Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I s[F]old[C] th[D]e f[G]arm
to [C]take my woman
[G]Where she longed to [C]be
We [D]left our kin and all our friends
Back [C]there in Tennessee

[Verse 2]
[G]I bought the one way tic[C]kets
She had [G]often begged me [C]for
That [D]took us to
The streets of Baltimore
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]Her heart was filled with laughter
When she [G]saw those city lights
She said, "She prettiest place
On earth is Baltimore at [D]night"

[Verse 4]
A [G]man feels proud to [C]give
His woman [G]what she's longing [C]for
And I [D]kind of liked
The streets of Baltimore
[G]

[Verse 5]
I got myself a [C]factory job
I [G]ran an old ma[C]chine
We [D]bought a little cottage
In a [C]neighborhood se[G]rene

[Verse 6]
But [G]every night when [C]I came home
With [G]every muscle [C]sore
She'd [D]drag me through
The streets of Baltimore
[G]

[Verse 7]
Her [D]heart was filled with laughter
When she [G]saw those city lights
She said, "The prettiest place
On earth is Baltimore at [D]night"

[Verse 8]
A [G]man feels proud to [C]give
His woman [G]what she's longing [C]for
And I [D]kind of liked
The streets of Baltimore
[G][F][C]

[Verse 9]
[D][C]
[D]I d[G]id my best to b[C]ring her back
To [G]what she used to [C]be
But [D]soon I learned she loved
Those [C]bright lights more than [G]me

[Verse 10]
Now, I'm [G]a going home
on [C]that same train
That [G]brought me here be[C]fore
While my [D]baby walks
The streets of [G]Baltimore
Yes, my [D]baby walks

[Outro 1]
The streets of Baltimore
