Key: C major

Verse 1
C C 
 
As the snow flies
Em Em 
 
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
F F 
 
G G 
 
Another little baby child is born
C C 
 
in the ghetto
Oooooo in the ghetto now his mama cry
Em Em 
 
cause if there's one thing
that she don't need
F F 
 
G G 
 
it's another little baby mouth to feed
C C 
 
In the ghetto
In the ghetto people,
G G 
 
don't you understand
F F 
 
C C 
 
The child needs a helping hand
F F 
 
G G 
 
Does he grow up an angry
C C 
 
young man one day?
G G 
 
Take a look at you or me
F F 
 
C C 
 
Are we too blind to see?
F F 
 
Em Em 
 
Or do we always turn our heads
Dm Dm 
 
G G 
 
And look the other way?
C C 
 
As the world turns
Em Em 
 
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
F F 
 
G G 
 
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
C C 
 
In the ghetto
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
Em Em 
 
And he starts to roam
the streets at night
F F 
 
And he learns how to steal
G G 
 
and he learns how to fight
C C 
 
In the ghetto
In the ghetto
G G 
 
Then one night in desperation
F F 
 
C C 
 
The young man breaks away
F F 
 
Em Em 
 
He buys a gun, steals a car
Dm Dm 
 
G G 
 
Tries to run but he don't get far
C C 
 
And his mama cries
Em Em 
 
As a crowd gathers round
an angry young man
F F 
 
Lying in the street with a
G G 
 
gun in his hand
C C 
 
When get old
In the ghetto
And as her young man dies
Em Em 
 
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
F F 
 
G G 
 
Another little baby child is born
C C 
 
In the ghetto
In the ghetto
In the ghetto
In the ghetto
In the ghetto,
In the ghetto,
In the ghetto,
In the ghetto.
