Artist: Cranberries
Intro: [G#] [Gsus] [G#] [Gsus]
[G#]As the snow flies. [Gsus]
On a c[G#]old and grey Chicago morn' [Bbm] a poor little bab[Es]y child is born
In the [G#]ghetto [Gsus]
[G#]And his mother cries [Gsus] (in the ghetto)
'Cause if [G#]there's one thing that she don't need, it[Bbm]'s another hungry
[Es]mouth to feed In the [G#]ghetto [Gsus]
So people won't you u[Es]nderstand the child needs a he[C#]lping han[G#]d
Or he'll[C#] grow to be an angr[Es]y young man some day [G#]
And take a look[Es] at you and me Are we t[Bbm]oo blind [G#]to see
Or [C#]do we simply [G#] turn our heads and [Bbm]look the other w[Es]ay
While [G#]the world turns [Gsus]
And a [G#]poor little boy with a runny nose pl[Bbm]ays in the streets
While the [Es]cold wind blows in the [G#]ghetto [Gsus]
and his [G#]hunger burns [Gsus]
So he [G#]starts to roam the streets at night and he l[Bbm]earns how to steal
And h[Es]e learns how to fight in the [G#]ghetto [Gsus]
And [Es]then one night in desperation [Bbm]the young man breaks[G#] away
He [C#]finds a gun and he [G#]steals a car and [Bbm]he tries to run but [Es]he doesn't get far
And his[G#] mother cries [Gsus]
As a[G#] crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face do[Bbm]wn in the street
With a[Es] gun in his hand [G#] in th[Gsus]e ghetto
And this young [G#]man dies
On a c[G#]old and grey Chicago morn' [Bbm] another little bab[Es]y child is born
In the [G#]ghetto
In the [G#]ghetto
In the [G#]ghetto
[G#]As the snow flies. [Gsus]
