Chorus 1:

Barefoot in Baltimore

Heel and toe with you

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:

Barefoot in Baltimore

Heel and toe with you

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

When night comes we can go walking

On the shores of Chesapeake Bay

A silence tailored for talking

And a love with so much to say

Coda [repeat to fade]:

(vibes solo)
