G D C G The lady came from Baltimore, and all she wore was lace C G/B A7 D She didn't know that I was poor, she never saw my place Chorus: Em Bm C G I was there to steal her money, to take her rings and run C G/B A G Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none The lady's name was Susan Moore, her daddy read the law She didn't know that I was poor, and lived outside the law Her daddy said I was a thief and didn't marry her for love But I was Susan's true belief, and I married her for love Chorus The house she lived in had a wall to keep the robbers out She never stopped to think it all that that's what I'm about I was there to steal her money, to take her rings and run Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A7  C  D  Em  G  B  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
