[Em]I know I've [D]seen

And I [G]know I've seen
[Em]this house before
With [G]people [D]all around [Em]it

And [A]Mama in the [G]kitchen[Em]
And a [G]wo man lies [D]upon [Em]the bed I

And [G]I re[D]call [Em]the words she said
As [A]she began [Em]to cry
She begged [G]son please don't go to [Em]Baltimore

[G]And if you [D]go to [Em]Baltimore
[G]Then I'll see you in [Em]heaven
And [G]as you [D]breathe I'll
[Em]breathe no more
[G]And I will [Em]surely die
Well you know [G]I went to [Em]Baltimore So

[G]What makes the sun [Em]set in the west
And [G]birds [D]fly in the [Em]sky

And what makes [G]those little [Em]ones grow old

[Verse 13]
[G]To find [Em]eternity
And what [G]takes the wise
[Em]And leaves behind
A [A]foolish [G]one [Em]like me
