Intro 1
(G major)
Verse 1
(G major) As the snow flies
On a (B minor) cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A (C major) poor little baby child (D major) is born
In the (G major) ghetto

And (G major) his mama cries
'Cause if (B minor) there's one thing
that she don't need
It's an (C major) other hungry mouth (D major) to feed
In the (G major) ghetto
(In the ghetto)

People, don't (D major) you understand
The child needs a (C major) helping hand (G major)
