[A] OO222O
[Asus4] OO223O
[C#m] O46654
[E] O221OO
[D] OOO232
[Bm] 022432

[A] , [Asus4] , [A] , [Asus4]

[A] , [Asus4] , [A] , [Asus4]
As the snow flies
On a [C#m]cold and gray chicago mornin'
A [D]poor little baby [E]child is born
In the [A]ghetto [Asus4] [A] [Asus4]
And his[A] mama cri[Asus4]es [A] [Asus]
'cause if [C#m]there's one thing that she don't need
It's an-[D]other hungry [E]mouth to feed
In the [A]ghetto[Asus4] [A] [Asus4]
People, don't you [E]understand
The child needs a [D]heeee-lping [A]hand
Or [D]he'll grow to be an [E]angry young man some [A]day
Take a look at [E]you and me,
Are we too [D]bliiiiind to [A]see,
[D]Do we simply [C#m]turn our heads
And [Bm]look the other wa[E]y
[A] [Asus4] , [A] , [Asus4]
Well the world turns
And a [C#m]hungry little boy with a runny nose
[D]Plays in the street as the [E]cold wind blows
[A] [Asus4] , [A] , [Asus4]
In the ghetto
[A] [Asus4] , [A] , [Asus4]
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
[A] [Asus4] , [A] , [Asus4]
In the ghetto
[C#m]Then one night in desperation
A [D]young man [A]breaks away
He [D]buys a gun, [A]steals a car,
[Bm]Tries to run, but he don[E]'t get far
[A] [Asus4] , [A] , [Asus4]
And his mama cries
As a [C#m]crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face [D]down on the street with a [E]gun in his hand
[A] [Asus4] , [A] , [Asus4]
In the ghetto
[A] [Asus4] , [A] , [Asus4]
As her young man dies,
On a[C#m] cold and gray chicago mornin',
An-[D]other little baby [E]child is born
[A] [Asus4] , [A] , [Asus4]
In the ghetto
