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

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