  • Verse 1

    As 
    the 
    snow 
    flies 

    On 
    cold 
    and 
    gray 
    Chicago 
    mornin' 

    poor 
    little 
    baby 
    child 
    is 
    born 

    In 
    the 
    ghetto 
    (in 
    the 
    ghetto) 

    And 
    his 
    mama 
    cries 

    'Cause 
    if 
    there's 
    one 
    thing 
    that 
    she 
    don't 
    need 

    It's 
    a
    nother 
    hungry 
    mouth 
    to 
    feed 

    In 
    the 
    ghetto 
    (in 
    the 
    ghetto) 

    Bridge 1
    People, 
    don't 
    you 
    understand 

    The 
    child 
    needs 
    helping 
    hand 

    Or 
    he'll 
    grow 
    to 
    be 

    an 
    angry 
    young 
    man 
    some 
    day? 

    Take 
    look 
    at 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    Are 
    we 
    too 
    blind 
    to 
    see 

    Do 
    we 
    simply 
    turn 
    our 
    heads, 

    and 
    look 
    the 
    other 
    way? 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    the 
    world 
    turns 

    And 
    hungry 
    little 
    boy 
    with 
    runny 
    nose 

    Plays 
    in 
    the 
    street 
    as 
    the 
    cold 
    wind 
    blows 

    In 
    the 
    ghetto 
    (in 
    the 
    ghetto) 

    And 
    his 
    hunger 
    burns 

    So 
    he 
    starts 
    to 
    roam 
    the 
    streets 
    at 
    night 

    And 
    he 
    learns 
    how 
    to 
    steal, 

    and 
    he 
    learns 
    how 
    to 
    fight 

    In 
    the 
    ghetto 
    (in 
    the 
    ghetto) 

    Bridge 2
    Then 
    one 
    night 
    in 
    desperation 

    young 
    man 
    breaks 
    a
    way 

    He 
    buys 
    gun, 
    steals 
    car 

    Tries 
    to 
    run, 
    but 
    he 
    don't 
    get 
    far 

    Verse 3
    And 
    his 
    mama 
    cries 

    As 
    crowd 
    gathers 
    'round 

    an 
    angry 
    young 
    man 

    Face 
    down 
    on 
    the 
    street 
    with 
    gun 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    In 
    the 
    ghetto 
    (in 
    the 
    ghetto) 

    And 
    as 
    her 
    young 
    man 
    dies 

    On 
    cold 
    and 
    gray 
    Chicago 
    mornin' 

    A
    nother 
    little 
    baby 
    child 
    is 
    born 

    In 
    the 
    ghetto 
    (in 
    the 
    ghetto) 

    And 
    his 
    mama 
    cries 
    (in 
    the 
    ghetto) 

    (In 
    the 
    ghetto) 

    (Aah-
    aah)

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
