================

                 C     G                   C

These dance hall girls,  they'll treat you kind

C                                  F                        C

They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds

        F        C   F              Em   F

They'll fill you up,  with lipstick lies

F                      C  

Then they'll put you down son

G            Am    D

Don't be surprised

D           C             G                F    C  G  C

Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

C                    G             C

I held her mountains, I kissed her plains

C                       F                     C

I touched her sunshine, Lord then I drank her rains

      F        C   F            Em   F

But I went too far, I broke too fast

F                  C

I thought I had a winner picked

G             Am     D

But I came in last, again

D           C             G                F    C  G  C

Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

Refrain:

Em                           F              C

I must have chosen the wrong season to come down

Em                    F                G

I never realized they call this sacred ground

G           C     G                  C  

My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind

C                    F                    C

I sent a letter home,  but this all takes time you know

        F        C     F                 Em   F

I gotta get some money,  I wanna go back home

F                    C

But these dance hall girls

C           G               Am    D

Know how to make a man feel alone

D           C             G                F    C  G  C

Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

Solo:  Play through one verse

Repeat Refrain

G           C     G                  C

My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind

C                                  F                        C

They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds

        F        C   F              Em   F

They'll fill you up,  with lipstick lies

F                C

These dance hall girls say

     G                    Am         D

They can't stand to see a grown man cry

D           C             G               F

Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

F           C             G               F

Is this the way it always is here in Montreal?

F           C             G               F     C  G

Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

F  C  G    F  C  G  C
