The Streets of Baltimore Chords by Bobby Bare

[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     B       B7 E        
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore


[Chorus]
B   B7                             B          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
          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
                A                E                 A   
Yet every night when I came home with every muscle sore
          B                              E        
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore


[Bridge]
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
