(Mark Weitz - Ed King - Lee Freeman)
Intro:
(electric piano w/bass and congas)
F#maj7 G#m9 /C#
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Gmaj9 Am9 /D
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Chorus 1:
Barefoot in Baltimore
Abmaj7/Bb Abm9
Heel and toe with you
Gmaj9 Am9/D Am7/D Gmaj9 Am9/D Am7/D
/ / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
F#maj9 G#m9/C# G#m7/C# [continue]
Summer turns the stove on
And fun begins to cook
Barefoot walks in Baltimore
With empty pocketbook
Laugh at sizzling sidewalks
Don't step on the cracks
Old folks try to catch their breath
As children catch their jacks
Chorus 2:
G#m7/C# Bm7
Barefoot in Baltimore
Gmaj7/A Gm9
Heel and toe with you
F#maj9 G#m9/C# G#m7/C# F#maj9 G#m9/C# G#m7/C#
/ / / / / / / /
Verse 2:
Gmaj9 Am9/D Am7/D [continue]
Baltimore is music
Dancing in the street
Half-chewed Dubble Bubble
Tugging at our feet
Melted tar in crosswalks
Crab shells in the park
Pavement frying our poor toes
Until long after dark

repeat chorus

Bridge:
When night comes we can go walking
On the shores of Chesapeake Bay
A silence tailored for talking
G#6 G#m7/C#
And a love with so much to say

repeat chorus 1

Coda [repeat to fade]:
(vibes solo)
Gmaj9 Am9/D Am7/D Gmaj9 Am9/D Am7/D
