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

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