Verse 1
G
C
G
C
G
As the snow flies
Bm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
C
D
A poor little baby child is born
G
in the ghetto
In the ghetto
C
G
And his momma cries
C
G
Bm
Cause if there's one thing
that she don't need
C
D
It's another poem out to feed
G
in the ghetto
In the ghetto
D
People don't you understand
C
G
The child needs a happy end
C
D
G
A hero to be an angry old man someday
D
Take a look at you and me,
C
G
are we too blind to see?
C
G
Do we simply turn our heads
Am
D
and look the other way?
G
C
G
Well, the world turns
Bm
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
C
Plays in the street
D
as the cold wind blows
G
in the ghetto
C
G
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 to fight
G
C
in the ghetto
D
Then one night in desperation
C
G
And the old man walks away
C
G
He buys a gun, steals a car
Am
D
Tries to run, but he don't get far
G
And his mama cries
In the ghetto
Bm
As a crowd gathers round
an angry old man
C
Facedown on the street
D
with a gun in his hand
G
In the ghetto
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
And his mama cries
In the ghetto
In the ghetto
And his mama cried
In the ghetto
C
In the ghetto
G
In the ghetto
And his mama cried
C
G
In the ghetto
C
In the ghetto
G
In the ghetto
C
G
In the ghetto
