Chords for Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto (Music Video) (1969)

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
As the snow flies. _ _ _ _
On a cold [Dm] and gray Chicago [G] [Eb] morning,
An old little [F] baby child is born [Bb] in the ghetto. _ _ _ _ _
And his mama cries. _ _ _ _
[Dm] But if there's one thing she don't need,
It's [Eb] another hungry [F] mouth to [Bb] feed in the ghetto.
_ _ In the ghetto.
[Eb] [F] People, don't you understand?
Your child [Eb] needs an air [Bb] base.
[Eb] You're gonna be [F] an angry young man [Bb] someday. _
Now take a [F] look at you and me.
Are we too [Eb] blind [Bb] to see?
[Eb] Do we simply [Dm] turn our [Cm] heads?
In the ghetto.
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] Well, the world turns.
_ _ _ And [Dm] a hungry little boy with a runny [Eb] nose
Plays in the street as [F] the cold [Bb] wind blows.
In the ghetto. _
_ In the ghetto.
And his hunger burns.
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Dm] So he starts to roam the streets at night.
[Eb] And he learns how to steal.
[G] And he learns how to fight.
[Bb] In the ghetto. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] And then one night in desperation,
[Eb] The young man [Bb] breaks away.
[Eb] He buys a gun, [Dm] steals a car, [Cm] tries to run.
But he [F] don't get far.
And his [Bb] mama cries.
_ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ _
[D] As the crowd gathers round,
An angry young [Eb] man fades down in the [F] street
With a gun in his hand.
In the [Bb] ghetto. _ _ _ _ _
And as her young man dies.
In the ghetto.
[Dm] On a cold and gray Chicago morning,
[Eb] Another little baby [F]
shies.
But in [Bb] the ghetto. _ _ _
_ _ And his mama cries.
[Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ In _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] the ghetto. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
