Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Baltimore Fire [Intro] G [Verse 1] Strong men in anguish prayed
C                  G
Calling out to the heavens for aid

C                 G
While the fire in ruins was laid

     D                       G
Fair Baltimore the beautiful city
[Verse 2]
                              C    
It was on a silver falls by a narrow

       G                           D
That I heard the cry I ever will remember

    G                             C
The fire set and cast its burning ember

    G            D           G
On another fated city of our land
[Chorus] "Fire! Fire!", I heard the cry
     C                 G
From every breeze that passes by

C                 G              D
All the world was one sad cry of pity

G
Strong men in anguish prayed

C                  G
Calling out to the heavens for aid

C                 G
While the fire in ruins was laid

     D                       G     C  G  D  G
Fair Baltimore the beautiful city
[Verse 3]
                              C    
Amid an awful struggle and commotion

    G                         D
The wind blew a gale from the ocean

      G                        C
Brave firemen struggled with devotion

    G             D             G
But their efforts all proved in vain
[Chorus] "Fire! Fire!", I heard the cry
     C                 G
From every breeze that passes by

C                 G              D
All the world was one sad cry of pity

G
Strong men in anguish prayed

C                  G
Calling out to the heavens for aid

C                 G
While the fire in ruins was laid

     D                       G
Fair Baltimore the beautiful city
[Outro] G C G C G D G
