Streets of Baltimore

written by Glaser/Howard

Recorded by Gram Parsons on GP

I play this with an alternate bass strum.

C                                               F        C

Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be

G                                         F           C

We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee

C                                            F             C

And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for

G                                     C

And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

G                                                      F        C

Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights

C                                                     G          

She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night

C                                         F               C

Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for

G                                   C

And I kind of like the Streets of Baltimore

(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
