Baltimore Blues No. 1 Chords & Lyrics by Deer Tick
Baltimore Blues No. 1
guitar chords lyrics
by: JR
I believe the other tab out there had pretty much everything perfect, but the chord
progression listed can be a bit tricky for beginners.
I found that playing with a capo for this particular song is much much easier, and after
watching a live version of it, it seems this is how it was played anyway.
Capo: 5th fret
Intro:
Am C Dm F (2x)
Am C Dm F (for this Am chord, I like strike it just once, and a bit harder to go
with the guitar riff, but not necessary)
Am C Dm F
Verse: Same as intro
Am C Dm F
Again, you can strum harder when the riff sounds, just for a bit of variation.
Bridge between these two lines:
Don't you know they're gonna' save my soul
(simply strum Am until the verse chord progression begins on the next line)
I can't hang around with you like this my friend
Chorus:
I set out to disappear
And out there I found a new home
But listen Jack, you're on the wrong side of the tracks
At least now I don't have to walk it all alone
Am G F C
Em Dm
Am G F C
Em E7
If you don't want to, or can't do a barred F, you can get away with playing it as such:
F
1 (index)
1 (index)
2 (middle)
3 (ring)
