G 
As the snow flies
C 
G 
Bm 
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
C 
D 
A poor little baby child is born
G 
C 
G 
in the ghetto
C 
G 
C 
And his mama cries,
G 
Bm 
cause if there's one thing
the seed don't need
C 
Is another little hungry mouth
D 
G 
C 
G 
to feed and to get hold
D 
People don't you understand,
C 
G 
that Charlie's a helping hand
C 
D 
For here I'll be an angry
G 
young man some day
D 
And here, look at you and me,
C 
G 
are we too blind to see?
C 
Bm 
But 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 
D 
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
G 
In the ghetto, in the ghetto
And his hunger burns
Bm 
So he starts to roam the streets at night
C 
And he learns how to steal
D 
and he learns how
G 
D 
And one night in desperation,
C 
the young man breaks away
G 
C 
Bm 
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Am 
D 
tries to run, but he don't get far
G 
And his mama cries
Bm 
As a crowd gathers round,
an angry young man
C 
fades down in the street
D 
G 
with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
And as her young man dies
Bm 
On  a cold and grey Chicago morning
C 
D 
Another little baby child is born
G 
In the ghetto
In the ghetto, in the ghetto
In the ghetto, in the ghetto you
