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
someday
[Eb] blind [Bb] to see?
[Cm] heads and look the other [F] way?

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
