That's a snow fly
[Bb] [Dm] On a cold and gray Chicago morning [Eb] a poor little baby [F] child is born [Bb] in the ghetto
And his mama cry
[Dm] Cuz if there's one thing that she don't need it's [Eb] another hungry [F] mouth to feed [Bb] in the ghetto
[Eb] People [F] don't you understand the child needs a [Bb] helping [Eb] hand
He'll grow to be an angry young [Bb] man someday
[F] Take a look at you and me, are we too [Eb] blind [Bb] to see?
[Eb] Do we [Dm] simply turn our [Cm] heads and look the other [F] way?
And the [Bb] world turns
And [Dm] a hungry little boy with a runny nose lays in the street in the cold when [Bb] it blows in the ghetto
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So [Bb]
[Dm] he starts to roam the streets at night and [Eb] he learns how to steal, he [F] learns how to fight [Bb] in the ghetto
In the ghetto
[Eb] [F] And one night in desperation [Eb] the young man [Bb] breaks away
[Eb] He buys a gun, he steals a car, [Cm] he tries to run but he [Bb] don't get [F] far
And his mama cries
In the ghetto
As [Dm] a crowd gathers round an angry young man [Eb] face down on the street [F] with a gun in his hand [Bb] in the ghetto
In the ghetto
And as the young man dies
[Dm] On a cold and grey Chicago morn [Eb] a poor little [F] baby child is born
[Bb] In the ghetto
And his mama cries
[N] Thank you very much
We call him the lamb in wolf's clothing and look there
Love, love, love, love
You really rocked the king's coat, phenomenal
I'm completely taken
Your still body language and everything you've done all night
You've really fired up a new Swedish world artist
It's on Andreas legs, you're fantastic
Your voice is unparalleled, as soon as you take the first note you melt
You sing this song so incredibly well
With as good a suffering as your voice that you can start to cry from
I would like to see your eyes, that's the only thing I would give you
To take you in your bag so you can see the same suffering in your eyes
If I could have one wish it would be to see Elvis Presley live
I never got that but I got to hear another fantastic evening
I had goose bumps
And when this tour is over I'll be in LA somewhere and I'll remember this
