#Dance Hall Girls
#================

CGC
These dance hall girls, they'll treat you kind
CFC
They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds
FCFEmF
They'll fill you up, with lipstick lies
FC
Then they'll put you down son
GAmD
Don't be surprised
DCGFCGC
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
CGC
I held her mountains, I kissed her plains
CFC
I touched her sunshine, Lord then I drank her rains
FCFEmF
But I went too far, I broke too fast
FC
I thought I had a winner picked
GAmD
But I came in last, again
DCGFCGC
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
Refrain:
EmFC
I must have chosen the wrong season to come down
EmFG
I never realized they call this sacred ground
GCGC
My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind
CFC
I sent a letter home, but this all takes time you know
FCFEmF
I gotta get some money, I wanna go back home
FC
But these dance hall girls
CGAmD
Know how to make a man feel alone
DCGFCGC
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
Solo: Play through one verse
Repeat Refrain
GCGC
My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind
CFC
They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds
FCFEmF
They'll fill you up, with lipstick lies
FC
These dance hall girls say
GAmD
They can't stand to see a grown man cry
DCGF
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
FCGF
Is this the way it always is here in Montreal?
FCGFCG
Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
