In The Ghetto Chords by Elvis Presley

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