[C]
As a snow fly
[Em] When a cold and gray Chicago [F] morning a poor little [G] baby child is [C] born in the ghetto
And his mama cry
[B] But if there's one thing she [F] don't need is another [G] hungry mouth to [C] feed in the ghetto
[C] [G] People don't you huh
[F]
[C] Are [G] you gonna be an angry young man [C] someday?
Take a [G] look at you
[F] I'll be too [C] blind to see
How do [Em] we simply turn our heads [Dm] and look the [G] other way?
[C] Where the world
[Em] And I'm a little boy with the runny [F] nose plays in [G] the street is a cold wind [C] blows in the ghetto
And his hunger burn
[D] [B] So he's not [Em] through on the streets at [F] night and he learns how to [G] steal and he learns how to [C] fight in the ghetto
[E] [D] And one night in [F] desperation
The young man [C] breaks away
[F] He buys a [Em] gun.
He steals a [Dm] car tries to [G] run, but he don't get far [C] and his mama cries
[Em] There's a crowd gathers round an angry young [F] man face down in the [G] street with a gun in his [C] hand and they get though
And as the young man died
[Em] When a [E] cold and gray Chicago [F] morning another little [G] baby child is born in [C] the ghetto
And his mama cry
