Intro 1
(G major) (G major) (G major) (G major)
Verse 1
As the (G major) snow flies
Well, on a (B minor7) cold and gray Chicago mornin'
An (C major) other hungry baby child (D major) is born
In the (G major) ghetto
And his mother cries
Because if there's (B minor7) one thing
that she don't need
It's an (C major) other hungry baby's mouth (D major) to feed
In the (G major) ghetto

Bridge 1
Oh, well, people, don't you (D major) understand
This child needs a (C major) helping hand (G major)
Or (C major) he'll grow to be an angry (D major) young man
some (G major) day
Oh, people, look at (D major) you and me
Are we too (C major) blind to see (G major)
(C major) Do we simply turn (B minor7) our heads
And (A minor) look the other (D major) way
Verse 2
As the (G major) world turns
A (B minor7) hungry little boy with a runny nose
He plays (C major) in the street (D major) as the cold wind blows
(G major) In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And as his hunger burns
So he (B minor7) starts to roam the streets at night
Where he learns (C major) how to steal
And he (D major) learns how to fight
In the (G major) ghetto
Bridge 2
Oh, people, don't you (D major) understand
This child needs a (C major) helping hand (G major)
Or he'll (C major) grow to be an angry (D major) young man
some (G major) day
Oh, people look at (D major) you and me
Are we too (C major) blind to see (G major)
(C major) Do we simply turn (B minor7) our heads
And (A minor) look the other (D major) way
Interlude 1
As the

(B minor7) (C major) (D major)
(G major) (G major)
(B minor7) (C major) (D major)
(G major) (G major)
Bridge 3
(D major) Then one night in desperation
A (C major) young man breaks a (G major) way
He (C major) buys a gun, (B minor7) steals a car
(A minor) Tries to run, but he (D major) don't get far
Verse 3
And his (G major) mother cries
As a (B minor7) crowd gathers 'round
an angry young man
Face (C major) down on the street
with a (D major) gun in his hand
(G major) In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
As her young man dies
On a (B minor7) cold and gray Chicago mornin'
An (C major) other little baby child (D major) is born
In the (G major) ghetto
In the (G major) ghetto (in the ghetto)
In the (G major) ghetto
