C#m O46654
E O221OO
D OOO232
Bm 022432
A, Asus4, A, Asus4
A, Asus4, A, Asus4
As the snow flies
C#m
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
D E
A poor little baby child is born
A Asus4 A Asus4
In the ghetto
A Asus4 A Asus4
And his mama cries
C#m
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
D E
It's an-other hungry mouth to feed
A Asus4 A Asus4
In the ghetto
E
People, don't you understand
D A
The child needs a heeee-lping hand
D E A
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
E
Take a look at you and me,
D A
Are we too bliiiiind to see,
D C#m
Do we simply turn our heads
Bm E
And look the other way
A Asus4, A, Asus4
Well the world turns
C#m
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
D E
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
A Asus4, A, Asus4
In the ghetto
A Asus4, A, Asus4
And his hunger burns
C#m
So he starts to roam the streets at night
D
And he learns how to steal
E
And he learns how to fight
A Asus4, A, Asus4
In the ghetto
C#m
Then one night in desperation
D A
A young man breaks away
D A
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Bm E
Tries to run, but he don't get far
A Asus4, A, Asus4
And his mama cries
C#m
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
D E
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
A Asus4, A, Asus4
In the ghetto
A Asus4, A, Asus4
As her young man dies,
C#m
On a cold and gray chicago mornin',
D E
An-other little baby child is born
A Asus4, A, Asus4
In the ghetto
