Streets of Baltimore — Gram Parsons
Chords and lyrics for Streets of Baltimore by Gram Parsons (key of F).
Intro
[F]
[F]Well I sold the farm to [Bb]take my woman [F]where she longed to [Bb]be
[C]We left our kin and all our friends back [Bb]there in [F]Tennessee
[F]And I bought those one way [Bb]tickets she had [F]often begged me [Bb]for
[C]And they took us to the streets of [F]Baltimore
[C]Well her heart was filled with gladness when she [F]saw those city lights
[F]She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at [C]night
Well a [F]man feels proud to [Bb]give his woman [F]what she's longing [Bb]for
[C]And I kind of like the Streets of [F]Baltimore
Break
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [C] [C] [F]
[F]Then I got myself a [Bb]factory job, I ran[F] an old machine[Bb]
[C]And I bought a little cottage in a [Bb]neighborhood serene[F]
[F]And every night when I'd [Bb]come home with [F]every muscle sore[Bb]
[C]She'd drag me through the Streets of [F]Baltimore
[C]Well I did my best to bring her back to what she [F]used to be
[F]Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more [C]than she loved me
Now I'm[F] a-going back on [Bb]that same train [F]that brought me here[Bb] before
[C]While my baby walks the streets of [F]Baltimore
[C]While my baby walks the streets of [F]Baltimore
