[Verse 1]
F#m   A                  Bm    D
      Beat-up little seagull

F#m   A                  Bm    D
On a marble stair

F#m   A                  Bm    D
      Tryin' to find the ocean

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Lookin' everywhere

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Hard times in the city

F#m   A                  Bm    D
In a hard town by the sea

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Ain't nowhere to run to

F#m   A                  Bm    D
There ain't nothin' here for free
[Verse 2]
F#m   A                  Bm    D
Hooker on the corner

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Waitin' for a train

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Drunk lyin' on the sidewalk

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Sleepin' in the rain

F#m   A                  Bm    D
And they hide their faces

F#m   A                  Bm    D
And they hide their eyes

F#m   A                  Bm    D
'Cause the city's dyin'

F#m   A                  Bm    F#
And they don't know why
[Chorus]
Dmaj7      Emaj7 C#m7
Oh Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live

Oh, Baltimore

Ain't it hard just to live, just to live

Get my sister Sandy

And my little brother Ray

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Buy a big old wagon

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Gonna haul us all away

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Livin' in the country

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Where the mountain's high

F#m   A                  Bm    D
Never comin' back here

F#m   A                  Bm    D
'Til the day I die
[Chorus]
Dmaj7      Emaj7 C#m7
Oh Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live

Oh, Baltimore

Dmaj7      Emaj7           C#7
Ain't it hard just to live, just to live
