Verse 1
G 
As the snow flies
Bm 
On a cold and gray Chicago morn
C 
D 
G 
A poor little baby child was born in a ghetto
In a ghetto
And his mama cried
Bm 
Cause there's one thing
that she don't need
C 
D 
Is another little hungry mouth to feed
G 
In a ghetto
In a ghetto
D 
People don't you understand,
C 
G 
the child needs a healthy hand
C 
Cause he'll grow to be
D 
G 
an angry young man someday
D 
Take a look at you and me,
C 
are we too blind to see
G 
C 
Bm 
Or do we simply turn our heads
Am 
D 
G 
and look the other way
Bm 
And a hungry little boy with a run
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 
He learns how to steal
D 
G 
and he learns how to fight in the ghetto
D 
Then one night, in desperation,
C 
the young man breaks away
G 
C 
Bm 
Fires a gun, steals a car,
Am 
tries to run, but
D 
Bm 
G 
He don't get far, and his mama cries
Bm 
As the crowd gathers round
an angry young man face
C 
down in the street
D 
G 
With a gun in his hand in the ghetto
And as the young man dies
Bm 
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
C 
D 
Another little baby child was born
G 
In the ghetto, and his mama cries
In the ghetto, and his mama cries
In the ghettos, and his momma cries
In the ghettos, and his momma cries
In the ghetto
