Fred writes mysterious lyrics…folk song with a nice piano about the
Dr. Baltimore case.

lyrics

The Baltimore Case Fred Grittner/Jan Hauenstein

(G) (B7) (Em) (Am) (D) (D4)
(G)What did he know
And (Em)when did he know it…
No (Am)signs of remorse,
(D)He’d never show it.
I’ve (G)got a lot (G/F#)of (Em)questions
That won’t (Am)flee in the (D)dark.
He can (Em)masquerade
And he can (Cj7)spin,
He can (B7)calculate angels
On the (Em)head of the pin,
Yes, in (Am)Baltimore(D) (D4)(hold)
You had a (G)king.(G/F#) (Em/E) (Em/e) (C) (C/E) (D)
(G) (G/F#) (Em/E) (Em/e) (C) (B7/D#) (Em/e) (Em/B) (Em/E) (Em/F#)

(G)There was a story,
(Em)Buried in coal.
You (Am)had to ignite it
By (D)losing control.
And (G)when you (G/F#)saw the (Em)hero,
You (Am)knew you picked (D)wrong.
Too (Em)late to escape it,
The (Cj7)hook´s deep inside,
They’re (B7)reeling you in,
So what (Em)good is your pride?
But in (Am)Baltimore(D) (D4)(hold)
You had a (G)king.(G/F#) (Em/E) (Em/e) (C) (C/E) (D)
(G) (G/F#) (Em/E) (Em/e) (C) (C/E) (D)

(G)Bal(G/F#)ti(Em)more,
(C)You must have (B7/D#)thought you were a(Em)bove the fray.(Am) (D)
(G)Bal(G/F#)ti(Em)more,
(Am)You had to (D)leave just (C)when you (B7/D#)wanted to (Em)stay. (Am) (D)
(G) (B7) (Em) (Am) (D) (D4)

The (G)signs are upsetting,
(Em)So are the cards.
You took (Am)three from the dealer
And (D)made four discards.
Your (G)mind has (G/F#)be(Em)trayed you,
But you (Am)don’t see that (D)yet.
(Em)When will you know it,
How (Cj7)long is the path
That (B7)runs through your conscience
To the (Em)vineyard of wrath?
Yes, in (Am)Baltimore(D) (D4)(hold)
You had a (G)king.(G/F#) (Em/E) (Em/e) (C) (C/E) (D)
(G) (G/F#) (Em/E) (Em/e) (C) (B7/D#) (Em/e) (Em/B) (Em/E)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
