Intro:

        (electric piano w/bass and congas)

        F#maj7            G#m9      /C#
          / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /
        Gmaj9              Am9      /D
          / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Chorus 1:

        Am7/D       Cm7
        Barefoot in Baltimore
        Abmaj7/Bb        Abm9
        Heel and toe with you

        Gmaj9  Am9/D Am7/D  Gmaj9  Am9/D Am7/D
          /   /   /   /       /   /   /   /

Verse 1:

        F#maj9          G#m9/C# G#m7/C#   [continue]
        Summer turns the stove on
        And fun begins to cook
        Barefoot walks in Baltimore
        With empty pocketbook

        Laugh at sizzling sidewalks
        Don't step on the cracks
        Old folks try to catch their breath
        As children catch their jacks

Chorus 2:

        G#m7/C#       Bm7
          Barefoot in Baltimore
        Gmaj7/A           Gm9
        Heel and toe with you

        F#maj9   G#m9/C# G#m7/C# F#maj9   G#m9/C# G#m7/C#
           /    /    /    /         /    /    /    /

Verse 2:

        Gmaj9      Am9/D Am7/D   [continue]
        Baltimore is music
        Dancing in the street
        Half-chewed Dubble Bubble
        Tugging at our feet

        Melted tar in crosswalks
        Crab shells in the park
        Pavement frying our poor toes
        Until long after dark

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

              Em7                  Cm7
        When night comes we can go walking
               Gmaj9                A13
        On the shores of Chesapeake Bay
          Am9                   D9
        A silence tailored for talking
              G#6                G#m7/C#
        And a love with so much to say

[repeat intro]

[repeat chorus 1]
