[Intro]

[Verse 1]
E                  A             E                   A
I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
   B7                                    E
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee
                      A               E               A
I bought those oneway tickets she had often begged me for
         B7                             E
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
 
 
[Verse 2]
    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
          E                  A              E                  A
Oh well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
      B7                                E
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore
 
 
[Verse 3]
E                   A             E            A
Well I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
  B7                           E
I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
                     A                E            A
Yet every night when I came home with every muscle sore
          B7                                  E     B7
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore
 
 
[Verse 4]
B7                 E
Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be
                                                                    B7
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights much more than she loved me
          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
