^CWell I sold the farm to take my woman where she ^Flonged to^C be ^GWe left our kin and all our friends back t^Fhere in Tenn^Cessee ^CAnd I bought those one way tickets she had of^Ften begged me ^Cfor ^GAnd they took us to the streets of Bal^Ctimore ^GWell her heart was filled with gladness when she saw th^Fose city ^Clights ^CShe said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at^G night ^CWell a man feels proud to give his woman w^Fhat she's longin^Cg for ^GAnd I kind of like the Streets of Ba^Cltimore

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