[Verse 1]
Dm F G A# Dm F G A#
Beat up little seagull, on a marble stair.
Dm F G A# Dm F G A#
Tryin' to find the ocean, lookin' everywhere.
Dm F G A# Dm F G A#
Hard times in the city, in a hard town by the sea.
Dm F G A# Dm F G A#
Ain't nowhere to run to, well there ain't nothin' here for free. No.
[Verse 2]
Dm A# G A# Dm F G A#
Hooker on the corner, waitin' for a train.
Dm F G A# Dm F G A#
Drunk lyin' on the sidewalk, sleepin' in the rain.
Dm F G A# Dm F G A#
And they hide their faces. And they hide their eyes.
Dm F G A# Dm F G A#
'Cause the city's dyin'. and they don't know why-y.
[Chorus]

Oh, oho, Baltimore.
Am Dm A#maj7 C
Man, it's hard, just to live.
Dm A#maj7 C
Oh, oho, Baltimore.
Am Dm A#maj7 C Am Dm
Man, it's hard, just to live, just to live.

Get my sister Sandy, my little brother Ray.
Dm F G A# Dm F G A#maj7
They buy a big old wagon, to haul us all away.
Dm G A# Dm F G A#maj7
Living in a country, where the mountain's high.
Dm F G A# Dm F G A#
Never comin' back here, 'til the day I die.
[Chorus]
