[Intro] E
E                  A             E                   A
I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be

B                                        A              E
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee

E                          A               E               A
And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for

    B                                   E
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

    B                                       A              E
her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights

                                          A            B
She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night

       E                  A              E                  A
Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for

      B                                E
And I kind of like the Streets of Baltimore

E                   A            E            A
Then I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine

  B                            A            E
I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene

E           A                  E                 A
Every night when I'd come home with every muscle sore

B                                             E
She would drag me through the Streets of Baltimore
(Spoken)
E                        A                  E                A
Well, I tried my best to bring her back, to what she used to be

        B                                                A                   E
Then, I soon learned she loved those bright lights, much more than she loved me

E                        A                    E               A
Well I'm a-going back on that same train that brought me here before

         B                              E
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

     B                                 E
Yes, my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
