Intro

SIb SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4 

 

             SIb      SIbsus4 SIb SIbsus4 

As the snow flies

        REm

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

    MIb                    FA

A poor little baby child is born

             SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

In the ghetto (In the ghetto)

              SIb      SIbsus4 SIb SIbsus4 

And his mama cries

         REm

cause if there's one thing that she don't need

        MIb                    FA

It's another hungry mouth to feed

             SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

In the ghetto (In the ghetto)

 

                               FA

People, don't you understand

                              MIb      SIb

The child needs a helping hand

   MIb                           FA                        SIb

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

                        FA

Take a look at you and me

                   MIb      SIb

Are we too blind to see

MIb               REm

Do we simply turn our heads

     DOm7                 FA

And look the other way.

 

                 SIb      SIbsus4 SIb SIbsus4 

Well, the world turns

           REm

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

 MIb                                FA

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

             SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

In the ghetto (In the ghetto)

                 SIb      SIbsus4 SIb SIbsus4 

And his hunger burns

          REm

So he starts to roam the streets at night

              MIb

And he learns how to steal

               FA

And he learns how to fight

              SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

In the ghetto (In the ghetto)

 

FA

Then one night in desperation

      MIb            SIb

A young man breaks away

     MIb          REm

He buys a gun, he steals a car

   DOm7                        FA

He tries to run, but he don't get far. 

               SIb      SIbsus4 SIb SIbsus4 

And his mama cries

         REm

As a crowd gathers round an angry young man

         MIb                                   FA

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

             SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

In the ghetto (In the ghetto)

                    SIb          SIbsus4 SIb SIbsus4 

And as her young man dies (In the ghetto)

     REm

On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

         MIb                  FA

Another little baby child is born

             SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

In the ghetto (In the ghetto)

                SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

And his mama cries (In the ghetto)

SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

                   (In the ghetto)

SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

                      Ah...

SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4

SIb  SIbsus4  SIb SIbsus4
