SONG: Good Morning Baltimore
ARTIST: Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman
From the musical, Hairspray
Intro:
D (3 bars)
A - G -- D/A -- D
Oh, oh, oh
Woke up today
- --
Feeling the way i always do
Oh, oh, oh
Hungry for something
-
That i can't eat
Then i hear the beat
That rhythm of town
--
Starts calling me down
It's like a message from
-
High above
Oh, oh, oh
A - D/A -
Pulling me out
To the smiles and the
- --
Streets that i love
-
Good morning Baltimore
-
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
- --
Every sound's like a symphony
- -
Good morning Baltimore
And some day when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
A - G -- D/A -- D
Oh, oh, oh
Look at my hair
- --
What "do" can compare with mine today?
Oh, oh, oh,
-
I've got my hairspray and radio
I'm ready to go
The rats on the street
--
All dance round my feet
They seem to say
-
"Tracy, it's up to you"
So, oh, oh
A - D/A -
Don't hold me back
- --
'Cause today all my dreams will come true
-
Good morning Baltimore
-
There's the flasher who lives next door
There's the bum on his bar room stool
- --
They wish me luck on my way to school
- -
Good morning Baltimore
And some day when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
I know every step
I know every song
-
I know there's a place where i belong
I see all those party lights shining ahead
- -
So someone invite me
Before i drop dead!
--
So, Oh, Oh
Give me a chance
- --
'Cause when i start to dance i'm a movie star
Oh, oh, oh
-
Something inside of me makes me move
When i hear the groove
My ma tells me no
--
But my feet tell me go!
It's like a drummer inside my heart
Oh, oh, oh
A - D/A -
Don't make me wait
- - -- --
One more moment for my life to start...
A# --
/
I love you Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
- --
Every sound's like a symphony
-
And i promise Baltimore
That some day when
I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Gonna wake up and see
Eb -
Baltimore and me...
- -
- - - -
Baltimore and me...
A# --- F#(add9) ---
Baltimore and
me!
