Intro F
[F]Well I sold the farm to [Bb]take my woman [F]where she longed to [Bb]be
[C]We left our kin and all our friends back t[Bb]here in Tenness[F]ee
[F]And I bought those one way [Bb]tickets she had [F]often begged me [Bb]for
[C]And they took us to the streets of Baltim[F]ore
[C]Well her heart was filled with gladness when she [F]saw those city lights
[F]She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at [C]night
Well a [F]man feels proud to [Bb]give his woman [F]what she's longing [Bb]for
[C]And I kind of like the Streets of Baltim[F]ore
break :
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [C] [C] [F]
Then I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
And every night when I'd come home with every muscle sore
She'd drag me through the Streets of Baltimore
Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be
Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me
Now I'm a-going back on that same train that brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
[C]While my baby walks the streets of [F]Baltimore
