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

Oh, oho, Baltimore.

They buy a big old wagon, to haul us all away.

Living in a country, where the mountain's high.

Never comin' back here, 'til the day I die.
