I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
B                                        A              E
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee
E                          A               E               A
And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for
    B                                   E
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

    B                                       A              E
her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights
                                          A            B
She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night
       E                  A              E                  A
Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
      B                                E
And I kind of like the Streets of Baltimore

E                   A            E            A
Then I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
  B                            A            E
I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
E           A                  E                 A
Every night when I'd come home with every muscle sore
B                                             E
She would drag me through the Streets of Baltimore

(Spoken)
E                        A                  E                A
Well, I tried my best to bring her back, to what she used to be
        B                                                A                   E
Then, I soon learned she loved those bright lights, much more than she loved me

E                        A                    E               A
Well I'm a-going back on that same train that brought me here before
         B                              E
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
     B                                 E
Yes, my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
