I sold the farm [C] to take my woman [G] where she [C] longed to be.
[D] We left our kids and all our [G] friends back there in Tennessee.

[D] and they took us to the streets of [G] Baltimore.
[E] [D] Well, my heart was still laughing [G] when I saw those city lights.

what she's [C] longing for,
[D] and I kind of like the streets of [G]
Baltimore.
I got myself [C] a factory job.
[G] I ran an [C] old machine.
[D] We bought a little cottage [G] in a neighborhood serene.
But every night [C] when I came home, [G]
with every [C] muscle sore,
[D] she would drag me through the streets of [G]
Baltimore.

to what she used to be,
but I soon learned she loves those bright lights much more than she loves me.
More than she [D] loves me.
[G] Now I'm going back [C] on that same train [G] that brought me [C] here before.
