[Bb]
As the snow flies,
[Cm] [Dm] on a cold and gray Chicago [Eb] 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 that she don't [Eb] need, it's another hungry [F] mouth to [Bb] feed.
In the ghetto.
In the ghetto.
[F] People, don't you understand, [Eb] your 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 [Eb] we too blind [Bb] to see?
[Eb] Do we [Dm] simply turn our [Cm] heads and look the [F] other way?
Well [Bb] the world turns, [Dm]
and a hungry little boy with a runny [Eb] nose, plays in the street
[F] as the cold wind blows.
[Bb] In the ghetto.
In the ghetto.
And his hunger burns.
[C]
[Dm] So he starts to roam the streets at night, [Eb] and he learns how to steal, [Dm] and he learns
how to fight.
[Bb] In the ghetto.
In the ghetto.
[F] Then one night, in desperation, [Eb] the young [Bb] man breaks away.
[Eb] He buys a gun, [Dm] steals a car, [Cm] tries to run, [F] but he don't [Dm] get [F] far, [Bb] and his mama cries.
[Dm] As the crowd gathers round, an angry young man [Eb] face down in the street with [F] a gun in his hand.
In [Bb] 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 [F] child is born.
[Bb] In the ghetto.
In the ghetto.
And his mama cries.
