[Bb] [Bb]
As the snow flies, on a [Dm] cold and gray Chicago morning, a poor little [F] baby child is [Bb] born in the ghetto.
In the ghetto.
And his mama cries, [Dm] cause if there's one thing she don't need, [Eb] it's another [F] hungry mouth to [Bb] feed in the ghetto.
In the ghetto.
[F] People, don't you understand, the [Eb] child needs a [Bb] helping hand.
[Eb] He'll grow to [F] be an angry young [Bb] man someday.
[F] Take a look at you and me, are we [Eb] too blind [Bb] to see?
[Eb] Do we [Dm] simply turn our [Cm] heads and look the other [F] way?
Well [Bb] the world turns, and a hungry [Dm] little boy with a runny [Eb] nose plays in the street [F] as the cold wind [Bb] blows in the ghetto.
In the ghetto.
And his hunger burns, [Dm] so he starts to roam the streets at [Eb] night and he learns how to [F] steal and he learns how to [Bb] fight in the ghetto.
[F] And then one night in [Eb] desperation, the young man [Bb] breaks away.
[Eb] He buys a [Dm] gun, steals a [Cm] car, tries to run, but he [F] don't get far and [Bb] his mama [Gm] cries.
[Bb] As the [D] crowd gathers round, an angry young man fades [Eb] down in the street with a gun in his [Bb] hand in the ghetto.
In the ghetto.
And as her young man dies.
In the ghetto.
[Dm] On a cold and gray Chicago morning, [Eb] another little baby child [F] is born in the [Bb] ghetto.
And his mama [Eb] cries.
[Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] In the ghetto.
