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