Baltimore

C
I went to town and I hung around
F
Long enough for it to lay me down
C                          G
I did not think I’d ever survive
         C
You can only make ten dollars an 
hour
        F
You can only tend to the roots of 
power
    C                          G  
For just so long before you’ve got
           C
 to take a ride


[Verse]
C
And Riley Riley why’d you wait so 
long
     F
Your mama’s crying in your daddy’s 
arms
C                               G
Balitimore ain’t no place to be born
          C
There’s a lot to lose but a world to
 gain
    F
And I declare that I proclaim
        C              G          
There’s just five more steps to 
  C
the door


[Chorus]
F
And I’m going away for to leave you
C
Don’t cry baby don’t make me blue
G                  F          C
Can’t you see that look in my eyes?
              F
And there’s a time to rest and a 
time to row
      C
Don’t ask me how ‘cause I just know
     G                    F    
This road (this road), is right, 
     C
to-night

[Verse]
C
Well there are those who yield and 
those who rise
           F
But you’re never old in your mama’s 
eyes
  C                            
I never thought I’d feel so all 
   G
a-lone
               C
Well I’ve seen broken hearts and 
passing hours
F
Black run guns and water towers
     C                        G   
I’ll miss you honey but we’ll talk
             C
 on the tele-phone


[Chorus]
F
And I’m going away for to leave you
C
Don’t cry baby don’t make me blue
G                  F          C
Can’t you see that look in my eyes?
              F
Well there’s a time to rest and a 
time to row
      C
Don’t ask me how ‘cause I just know
     G                    F    
This road (this road), is right, 
     C
to-night


[Bridge]
F
And I don’t believe you love me more
       G
‘cause I don’t believe you love me 
more
Am               F
What I done was wrong
                            C
Well I know what I done was wrong
G               Am              F


[Verse]
C
It’s too damned far to Oregon
       F
My courage is spent, my emotion is 
gone
C                         G
California never kept me warm
    C
The Atlantic Ocean she’s a mighty 
fine pond
         F
And the Piedmont steps and just 
beyond
    C                    G        
The Blue Ridge Mountains calling 
       C
me back home


[Chorus]
F
And I’m going away for to leave you
C
Don’t cry baby don’t make me blue
G                  F          C
Can’t you see that look in my eyes?
              F
And there’s a time to rest and a 
time to row
      C
Don’t ask me how ‘cause I just know
     G                    F    
This road (this road), is right, 
     C
to-night
              F
There’s a time to rest and a time to
 row
      C                Am
Don’t ask me how ‘cause I just know
     G                    F    
This road (this road), is right, 
     C
to-night
     G                    F    
This road (this road), is right, 
     C
to-night
     G                    F    
This road (this road), is right, 
     C
to-night
     G                    F    
This road (this road), is right,
