The Streets of Baltimore chords by Bobby Bare
Intro 1
A
D
Verse 1
D
G
I sold the farm to take my
D
G
woman where she longed to be
A
We left our kin and all our friends
D
back there in Tennessee
G
I bought those one way tickets
D
G
she had often begged me for
A
And they took us to the streets
D
of Baltimore
A
Her heart was filled with laughter
D
when she saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on
A
earth is Baltimore at night
D
G
Oh well a man feels proud to give his
D
G
woman what she's longing for
A
D
And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore
G
Well I got myself a factory job
D
G
I ran an old machine
A
I bought a little cottage in a
D
neighborhood serene
G
Yet every night when I came
D
G
home with every muscle sore
A
She would drag me through
D
the streets of Baltimore
A
D
Well I did my best to bring her
back to what she used to be
But I soon learned she loved those bright
A
lights much more than she loved me
D
G
Now I'm a going back on that same train
D
G
that brought me here before
A
While my baby walks the
D
streets of Baltimore
A
Yes my baby walks the
D
streets of Baltimore
