                        "Barefoot in Baltimore"
                  (Mark Weitz - Ed King - Lee Freeman)

Intro:

	(electric piano w/bass and congas)

	                  /
	  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /
	                    /
	  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Chorus 1:

	       
	Barefoot in Baltimore
	/        
	Heel and toe with you

	  /     / 
	  /   /   /   /       /   /   /   /

Verse 1:

	          / /   [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:

	      /    [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
	                      /
	And a love with so much to say

[repeat intro]

[repeat chorus 1]

Coda [repeat to fade]:

	(vibes solo)

	  /     / 
	  /   /   /   /       /   /   /   /
