[A] [Asus4] [A]

[A]As the snow flies on a [C#m]cold and gray Chicago morn,
A [D]poor little baby [E]child is born,
In the [A]Ghetto and his mama cries,
Cause [C#m]there's one thing that she don't need
Is [D]another little hungry [E]mouth to feed,
In the [A]Ghetto.

[E]People don't you understand the [D]child needs a helping [A]hand,
[D]He'll grow to be an [E]angry young man [A]someday,
[E]Take a look at you and me are [D]we too blind to [A]see,
[D]Do we simply [C#m]turn our heads and [Bm]look the other [E]way,
As the world [A]turns.

A [C#m]hungry little boy with a running nose,
[D]Plays in the streets as the [E]cold wind blows,
In the [A]Ghetto, and his hunger burns,
So he [C#m]starts to roam the streets at night
And he [D]learns how to steal and he [E]learns how to fight,
In the [A]Ghetto.

Then [E]one night in desperation the [D]young man breaks [A]away,
And he [D]buys a gun and he [A]steals a car and he [Bm]tries to run,
But [E]don't get far, and his [A]mama cries.

As a [A]crowd gathers round and the angry young man
Face [D]down the street with a [E]gun in his hand,
In the [A]Ghetto, as the young man dies.
On a [C#m]cold and gray Chicago morn
[D]Another little baby [E]child is born,
In the [A]Ghetto, his mama cries
(In Ghetto, oh, oh...)
