[A] [D] [A]
As the snow [D] flies
[A] On [D] [A]
[C#m] a cold and gray Chicago [D] morning, the poor little [E] baby child is [A] born in the [D] ghetto
[A] And his mama [D] cries
[A] [C#m]
Cause if there's one thing she [D] don't need, it's another [E] hungry mouth to [A] feed in the ghetto
[D] [A] People [E] don't you understand
[D] Child needs a [A] helping hand
[D] And you're gonna [E] be an angry young [A] man someday
Take a [E] look at you and me
Are we too [D] blind to [A] see?
[D] Or do [C#m] we simply turn our [Bm] heads and look [E] the other [C#m] way?
[E]
[A] Well [D] the world [A] turns
[C#m] And a hungry little boy with a runny [D] nose plays in the [E] street as the cold wind [A] blows in the [D] ghetto
[A] And his hunger [D] burns
[A] [C#m] So he starts to roam the streets at [D] night and he learns how to [E] steal and he learns how to [A] fight in the ghetto
[D] [A] And [E] then one night in desperation
[D] The young man breaks [A] away
[D] He buys a gun, [C#] steals a car, [Bm] tries to run [E] but he don't [C#m] fall
[E] [A] And his mama [D] cries
[A]
[C#] As the crowd gathers round an angry young [D] man face down in the [E] street with a gun in his [A] hand in the ghetto
[D] [A] And as her young man dies
On [C#] a cold and gray Chicago morning [D] another little baby [E] child is born
In the ghetto
[A] And [D]
[A] his mama [D] cries
[A]
