[Chorus]
A C
My shirt is a ragged and my pants are torn
F Bb
I aint found nothin I'm a-lookin' for
E A
And I wanna go back, to Baltimore
A C
I miss my dinghey on the chesapeak shore
F Bb
The shrimp and the Shad-a-fish I adore
E A
And I wanna go back, to baltimore
[Verse]
A
Well I left home about ten months ago
D
Cause I was tired of my status quo
E
I said "I'm sick of this dead head town
A
I'm gonna cut out and have a look around"

A
That was my first mistake
A
At first I was livin real high on the hog
D
Havin more fun than a pedigree dog
E
'Fore long though my loot ran low
A
And I said "oh well I'll be a hobo"

I aint found nothin I'm a-lookin' for
E A
And I wanna go back, to Baltimore
[Verse]
A
Well I starved in Chicago and Kalamazoo
D
Went down to Atlanta and I starved there too
E
I met a lot a' girls but ya can't make time
A
When you're knockin' on the back door beggin for a dime

A
I know, I've tried
A
I searched for my fortune as hard as I could
D
But ya can't make a fortune choppin' up wood
E
So I'll admit, though I lose a lot a' face
A
That my own back yard was a heck of a place

And I wanna go back, to Baltimore
A C
I miss my dinghey on the chesapeak shore
F Bb
The shrimp and the Shad-a-fish I adore
E A
And I wanna go back, to baltimore
