C
As the snow flies
Em
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
F G7
A poor little baby child is born
C
In the Ghetto And his mama cries.
Em
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
F G7
It's another hungry mouth to feed
C
In the Ghetto
G
People, don't you understand
F C
The child needs a helping hand
F G7 C
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
G
Take a look at you and me,
F C
Are we too blind to see?
F Em Dm G7
Or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
C
Well, the world turns
Em
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
F G7
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
C
In the Ghetto. And his hunger burns.
Em
So he starts to roam the streets at night
F G7
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
C
In the Ghetto
G
And then one night in desperation
F C
The young man breaks away
F Em
He buys a gun, Steals a car,
Dm G7
Tries to run, But he don't get far
C
And his mama cries.
Em
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
F G7
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
C
In the Ghetto
C
And as the young man dies,
Em
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
F G7
Another little baby child is born
C
In the Ghetto.
