In The Ghetto chords by Elvis Presley, Imperials, The Sweet Inspirations
Verse 1
G
As the snow flies
Bm
On a cold and gray Chicago morning
C
D
A poor little baby child
G
is born in the ghetto
And his mama cries
Bm
Cause if there's one thing
she don't need,
C
D
it's another hungry hog
G
to feed in the ghetto
D
People don't you understand,
C
your child needs an air of meaning
G
C
D
He'll grow to be an angry
G
young man someday
D
Take a look at you and me,
C
G
are we too blind to see?
C
Bm
Do we simply turn our heads
Am
D
and look the other way?
G
Well, the world turns
Bm
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
C
Plays in the street
D
G
as the cold wind blows in your ghetto
Bm
So he starts to roam the streets at night
C
And he learns how to steal
D
G
and he learns how to fight in the ghetto
D
Then one night, desperation,
C
the young man breaks away
G
C
Bm
Am
He buys a gun, steals a car, tries to run
D
But he don't get far and
G
Am
G
his mama cries
Bm
As the crowd gathers round
an angry young man
C
Facedown in the street
D
with a gun in his hand
G
In the ghetto
And as her young man dies
Bm
On a cold and grey Chicago
morning
C
One mornin' another little
D
baby child was born
G
In the ghetto
And his mama cried
In the ghetto
You
In The Ghetto
