[Am] [Dm] [C]
as the snow flies
On [Em] a cold and gray Chicago [F] morning a poor little [G] baby child is [Am] born in [C] the ghetto
And his mama cries
[Em] But if there's one thing that she don't [F] need it's another [G] hungry mouth to [C] feed in the ghetto
People [Bb]
[G] don't you understand
[F] [C]
Johnny
[F] Are you gonna [G] be an angry young man [C] someday?
[G] Take a look at you and me.
I'll be [F] too blind [C] to see
[F] How do we [Em] simply turn our heads [Dm] and look the other [G] way?
[C] Well the world turns
[Em] And I'm a little boy with the run he knows [F] plays in the [G] street is a cold wind [Dm] blows in the [C] ghetto
And his hunger burn
So [E] he starts [Em] to roam the streets at night [F] and he learns how to [G] steal and he learns how to [C] fight in the ghetto
[Am] Then [G] one night in desperation [F] the young man [C] breaks away
[F] He buys a [Em] gun he steals a car [Dm] tries to run [G] but he don't get far and his [C] mama cries
As [Em] the crowd gathers round an angry young [F] man face down in the [G] street with a gun in his hand in the [C] ghetto
And as no young man dies
On [Em] a cold and gray Chicago [F] morning another little baby [G] child is born
In the [C] ghetto
And his mama cries
[G] [C]
[G] [C]
