The Streets of Baltimore Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
[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 there [D]in Tennessee
I bought those one way [G]tickets
she had [D]often begged me [G]for
And they [A]took us to the streets
of Bal[D]timore
Her [A]heart was filled with laughter
when she [D]saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on
earth is Baltimore at [A]night
Oh well a man [D]feels proud to [G]give his
woman [D]what she's longing [G]for
And I [A]kind of liked the streets of [D]Baltimore
Well I got myself [G]a factory job
I [D]ran an old ma[G]chine
[A]I bought a little cottage in a
neigh[D]borhood serene
Yet every night when [G]I came
home with [D]every muscle [G]sore
She would [A]drag me through
the streets of [D]Baltimore
[A]Well I did my best to bri[D]ng her
back to what she used to be
But I soon learned she loved those bright
lights much more than she [A]loved 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 [D]Baltimore
Yes my [A]baby walks the
streets of [D]Baltimore
