As the [G] snow flies - -
On a [Bm] cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A [C] poor little baby [D] child is born
In the [G] ghetto (in the ghetto) - and his [G] mama cries
Cause if [Bm] there's one thing that she don't need
It's [C] another hungry [D] mouth to feed
In the [G] ghetto (in the ghetto)
People, don't you [D] understand
The child [C] needs a helping [G] hand
Or [C] he'll grow to be an [D] angry young man some [G] day
Take a look at [D] you and me,
Are we too [C] blind to [G] see?
[C] Do we simply [Bm] turn our heads
And [C] look the other [D] way - well the [G] world turns
And a [Bm] hungry little boy with a runny nose
[C] Plays in the street as the [D] cold wind blows
In the [G] ghetto (in the ghetto) - and his [G] hunger burns
So he [Bm] starts to roam the streets at night
And [C] he learns how to steal and he [D] learns how to fight
In the [G] ghetto (in the ghetto)
Then one [D] night in desperation
A [C] young man breaks a-[G]way
He [C] buys a gun, [Bm] steals a car,
[C] Tries to run, but he [D] don't get far - and his [G] mama cries
As a [Bm] crowd gathers round an angry young man
[C] Face down on the street with a [D] gun in his hand
In the [G] ghetto (in the ghetto) - as her [G] young man dies,
On a [Bm] cold and gray Chicago mornin',
A-[C]nother little (slow down) baby [D] child is born
In the [G] ghetto (in the ghetto) - and his [G] mama cries
(in the ghetto - x 3)
