Verse 1
(G major) (G major)
As the (G major) 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 (in the ghetto)
And his (G major) mama cries
'Cause if (B minor) there's one thing that she don't need
It's a (C major) nother hungry (D major) mouth to feed
In the (G major) ghetto (in the ghetto)
Bridge 1
People, don't you (D major) understand
The child needs a (C major) helping (G major) hand
Or (C major) he'll grow to be
an angry (D major) young man some (G major) day?
Take a look at (D major) you and me
Are we too (C major) blind to see (G major)
(C major) Do we simply (B minor) turn our heads,
and (A minor) look the other (D major) way?

Verse 2
Well, the (G major) world turns
And a (B minor) hungry little boy with a runny nose
(C major) Plays in the street as the (D major) cold wind blows
In the (G major) ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his (G major) hunger burns
So he (B minor) starts to roam the streets at night
And he (C major) learns how to steal,
and he (D major) learns how to fight
In the (G major) ghetto (in the ghetto)
Bridge 2
(D major) Then one night in desperation
A (C major) young man breaks a (G major) way
He (C major) buys a gun, (B minor) steals a car
(A minor) Tries to run, but he (D major) don't get far
Verse 3
And his (G major) mama cries
As a (B minor) crowd gathers 'round
an angry young man
Face (C major) down on the street with a (D major) gun in his hand
In the (G major) ghetto (in the ghetto)
And as her (G major) young man dies
On a (B minor) cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A (C major) nother little baby child (D major) is born
In the (G major) ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his (G major) mama cries (in the ghetto)
(G major) (In the ghetto)
(G major) (Aah-aah)
