Verse 1
(G major) IN (C major) (G major) THE GHETTO
Verse 2
(THE VICIOUS CIRCLE)
(G major) As the snow flies
On a (B minor) cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A (C major) poor little baby child (D major) is born
(G major) In the ghetto
And his mama cries (C major) (G major)
'Cause if (B minor) there's one thing
that she don't need
It's (C major) an other hungry (D major) mouth to feed
In the (G major) ghetto (in the ghetto)

Verse 3
People, don't (D major) you understand
The child needs a (C major) helping hand (G major)
Or (C major) he'll grow to be an angry (D major)
young man (G major) some day
Take a look at (D major) you and me
Are we too (C major) blind to see (G major)
(C major) Do we simply turn (B minor) our heads
(A minor) And look the other way (D major)
(G major) Well the world turns
And a (B minor) hungry little boy with a runny nose
(C major) Plays in the street as the (D major) cold wind blows
(G major) In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
Verse 4
And his hunger burns
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 (C major) (G major) (in the (D major) ghetto)
Verse 5
Then one might in desperation
A (C major) young man breaks away (G major)
He (C major) buys a gun, steals a car
(B minor) Tries (A minor) to run, but he don't (D major) get far
(G major) An d his mama cries
As a (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 (in the ghetto)
Verse 6
As her young man dies
On a (B minor) cold and gray Chicago mornin'
An (C major) other little baby child (D major) is born
In the ghetto (G major) (in the ghetto)
And his mama cries
In the (C major) ghetto
In the ghetto
- - Elvis Presley (G major)
