THE STREETS OF BALTIMORE CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] E A E A ■ I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be B B7 E We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee A E A I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for B B7 E And they took us to the streets of Baltimore [Chorus] B B7 E Her heart was filled with laughter when she saw those city lights B7 She said the prettiest place on earth is Baltimore at night [Verse] E A E A Oh well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for B B7 E And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore A E A Well I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine B E I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene [Chorus] A E A Yet every night when I came home with every muscle sore B B7 E She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore [Verse] B7 E ■ Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be B B7 But I soon learned she loved those bright lights much more than she loved me [Chorus] E A E A Now I'm a going back on that same train that brought me here before B7 E While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore B7 E Yes my baby walks the streets of Baltimore [End]
