Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]As[C][G][C][G]
the snow [C]flies,[G][C][G]
on [Bm]a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A [C]poor little baby [D]child is born
In the ghetto
[G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
And his mama [C]cries,[G]
cause if [Bm]there's one thing
that she don't need
it's an[C]other hungry [D]mouth to feed
In the [G]ghetto

[Verse 3]
People, don't you [D]understand,
the child needs a [C]helping [G]hand
Or [C]he'll grow to be an [D]angry
young man [G]someday
So take a look at [D]you and me,
are we too [C]blind [G]to see,
Or [C]do we simply [Bm]turn our heads
[Am]and look the other [D]way

[Verse 4]
[G]Well the world [C]turns,[G]
and a [Bm]hungry little boy with a runny nose
plays [C]in the street as the
[D]cold wind blows
In the [G]ghetto

[Verse 5]
And [G]his hunger burns,
so he [Bm]starts to roam the streets at night
and he [C]learns how to steal
and he [D]learns how to fight
In the [G]ghetto

[Verse 6]
[D]Then one night in desperation
the [C]young man breaks [G]away
He [C]buys a gun, [Bm]steals a car,
[Am]tries to run, [D]but he don't get far

[Verse 7]
And his [G]mama cries
As a [Bm]crowd gathers 'round
an angry young man
face [C]down on the street with
a [D]gun in his hand
In the [G]ghetto

[Verse 8]
[G]And as her young man dies,
on a [Bm]cold and gray Chicago mornin',
an[C]other little baby [D]child is born
[G]In the ghetto
In the ghetto
In the ghetto
In the ghetto

[Verse 9]
People, don't you [D]understand
the child needs [C]a helping h[G]and
People, don't [D]you understand
[C]he need a helping [G]hand
Take a look at [D]you and me,
are we [C]too blind to [G]see
Take a look at [D]you and me,
are we too [C]blind, [G]blind
Or [C]do we simply [G]turn our heads
and [Am]look the other [D]way
[G]Well

[Verse 10]
the world turns,
In the [C]ghetto
