BALTIMORE FIRE chrom
Eastern American folk song
Key: E
7* -7 -8 -8 7* -6*
It was on a sil-ver
6 7* 6 -6* 5*
falls by a nar-row
6 5* -4 -4 6
That I heard the cry
6 6 6 7* 7* 7* -6*
I ev-er will re-mem-ber
-8 -8 7* -6* 6
The fire sent and cast
6 -6* 7* -6* 5*
its burn-ing em-bers
6 5* -4 -4 -5* 6 -6*-7
On an oth-er fat-ed cit-y
7* -6* 6
Of our land
7* 7* -6* 6 7* -8
Fire, fire, I heard the cry
7* 6 6 -6* 6 5* -4 6 7*
From ev-‘ry breeze that pass-es by
6 6 -6* 6 5* -4
All the world was one
6 7*7*-8 -8 -6*
Sad cry of pi-ty
7* 7* -6* 6 7* -8
Strong men in an-guish prayed
6 6 -6*6 5* -4 6 7*
Call-ing loud to Heav’n for aid
6 6 -6*6 5* -4 6 7*
While the fire in ruin was laying
7*-8 -8 -6* 7* 6
Fair Bal-ti-more the
-6* -6* 7* -6* 6
beau-ti-ful cit-y
