Titel: In The Ghetto
Artist: Elvis Presley
Album: Elvis 48 Original Hits (2000)
(Mac Davis)
Intro: E Esus4
E Esus4 E Esus4
As the snow flies
G#m
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A B
A poor little baby child is born
E Esus4 E Esus4
In the ghetto
E Esus4 E Esus4
And his mama cries
G#m
'Cause if there's one thing she don't need
A B
It's another hungry mouth to feed
E Esus4 E Esus4
In the ghetto
B
People, don't you go understand
A E
The child needs a helping hand
A B E
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
B
Take a look at you and me,
A E
Are we to blind to see,
A G#m
Do we simply turn our heads
F#m B
And look the other way
E Esus4 E Esus4
Well the world turns
G#m
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
A B
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
E Esus4 E Esus4
In the ghetto
E Esus4 E Esus4
And his hunger burns
G#m
So he starts to roam the streets at night
A
And he learns how to steal
B
And he learns how to fight
E Esus4 E Esus4
In the ghetto
B
Then one night in desperation
A E
The young man breaks away
A G#m
He buys a gun, steals a car,
F#m B
Tries to run, but he don't get far
E Esus4 E Esus4
And his mama cries
G#m
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
A B
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
E Esus4 E Esus4
In the ghetto
E Esus4 E Esus4
And as her young man dies,
G#m
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
A B
Another little baby child is born
E Esus4 E Esus4
In the ghetto
E Esus4
And his mama cries
