Verse 1
G 
C 
G 
There's a snowflies
Bm 
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
C 
D 
G 
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
Bm 
Cause if there's one thing
that she don't need
C 
D 
Is an other hungry mouth
G 
to feed in the ghetto
In the ghetto
D 
People don't you understand
C 
G 
The child needs a helping hand
C 
D 
Or he'll grow to be an ugly
G 
young man someday
D 
Take a look at you and me,
C 
G 
are we too blind to see?
C 
Bm 
Do we simply turn our heads
Am 
D 
and look the other way?
Gsus4 
G 
Well, the world turns
Bm 
And a hungry little boy with a
runny nose
C 
He's playing in the street
D 
G 
as a cold wind blows in the ghetto
And his hunger burns in the street
Bm 
So he starts to roam the streets at night
C 
And he learns how to steal
D 
G 
and he learns how to fight in the ghetto
D 
Then one night, desperation,
C 
a 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 the crowd gathers round,
C 
an angry young man face down
D 
On the street with a gun in his hand
G 
In the ghetto, in the ghetto
As her young mum dies
Bm 
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
C 
D 
A poor little baby child is born
G 
In the ghetto, in the ghetto
And his mama cries
He said, oh
And his mama cries
He said, oh
And his mama cries
He said, oh
And his mama cries
He said, oh
And his mama cries
He said, oh
G 
And here's to mama cryin'
