the streets of baltimore Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A](Ha[E]rla[D]n
Howard - Tompall Glaser)

[Verse 2]
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 [D]in Tennssee
Bought those oneway [G]tickets she
had [D]often begged me [G]for
And they [A]took us to
the streets of [D]Baltimore.

[Verse 3]
[D]Her hea[A]rt was filled with laughter when
[D]she saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on
earth is Baltimore at [A]night
Oh well, a [D]man feels proud to [G]give his
woman [D]what she's longing [G]for
And [A]I kind of liked the streets of [D]Baltimore.

[Verse 4]
[D]Then I got myself a fac[G]tory
job I [D]ran an old machine
[G]Bou[A]ght a little cottage in
[G]a neighborhood se[D]rene
Every night when [G]I came home
with [D]every muscle [G]sore
She would [A]drag me through
the streets of Baltimore.
[D]

[Verse 5]
Well, I tried my [G]best to bring
her back to what [D]she used to [G]be
[A]But I soon learned she loved those bright
lights much [G]more than she loved [D]me
Well, I'm a 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]

[Verse 6]
Yes, my [A]baby walks
the streets of [D]Baltimore...

[Outro 1]
[D]
