Intro F
F Bb F Bb
Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
C Bb F
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee
F Bb F Bb
And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for
C F
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
C F
Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights
F C
She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night
F Bb F Bb
Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
C F
And I kind of like the Streets of Baltimore

F Bb F Bb C C F
Then I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
And every night when I'd come home with every muscle sore
She'd drag me through the Streets of Baltimore
Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be
Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me
Now I'm a-going back on that same train that brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
C F
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
