SONG: Good Morning Baltimore
ARTIST: Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman
From the musical, Hairspray
(3 bars)
- -- --
Oh, oh, oh
Woke up today
- - --
Feeling the way i always do
Oh, oh, oh
Hungry for something
G#m7b5- -
That i can't eat
Then i hear the beat
That rhythm of town
--
Starts calling me down
It's like a message from
G#m7b5- -
High above
Oh, oh, oh
- -
Pulling me out
To the smiles and the
- --
Streets that i love
Good morning Baltimore
Gadd9-G -
Every day's like an open door
-
Every night is a fantasy
- - --
Every sound's like a symphony
- --Dsus2/4-D -
Good morning Baltimore
And some day when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
- -- --
Oh, oh, oh
Look at my hair
- - --
What "do" can compare with mine today?
Oh, oh, oh,
G#m7b5- -
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
G#m7b5- -
"Tracy, it's up to you"
So, oh, oh
- -
Don't hold me back
- --
'Cause today all my dreams will come true
- --Dsus2/4-D
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
- --Dsus2/4-D -
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
G#m7b5- -
Something inside of me makes me move
F#7b9/
When i hear the groove
My ma tells me no
--
But my feet tell me go!
G#m7b5-
It's like a drummer inside my heart
Oh, oh, oh
- -
Don't make me wait
- - A7sus -- A7sus -- A#7sus
One more moment for my life to start...
--
- --D#sus2/4-D#
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
Am7b5
The world's gonna wake up and see
Gonna wake up and see
-
Baltimore and me...
- -
- - - -
Baltimore and me...
Baltimore and
me!
