In The Ghetto (Live On Re:covered) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]It'[G]s t[D]he Snowflake[G][D][G]
On [F#m]a cold and grey Chicago morning
An[Em]other little baby [A]child is born
In [D]the ghetto, [G]in [D]the ghetto
[G]And his[D] momma cri[G]es[D]
[G]Because if the[F#m]re's one thing
that she don't need
It's [Em]an other hungry m[A]outh to feed
In [D]the ghetto, [G]in the [D]ghetto
[G]People [D]don't you und[A]erstand
This child needs a [G]helping [D]hand
And [G]he's gonna be an [A]angry
young man [D]someday
Take a look at [F#m]you and me
We're too [G]blind to [D]see
But [G]do we simply turn [F#m]our heads
And [Em]look the other [A]way?
And [D]the world [G]turns[D]
[G]And a hun[F#m]gry little boy with a runny nose
[G]Lays on the street as [A]the cold wind blows
In [D]the ghetto, [G]in the [D]ghetto
[G]An d [D]his hunger burns
[G]And[D] as[G] he starts to[F#m] roam
the streets at night
And he [G]learns how to steal
He [Asus4]learns how to fi[A]ght in th[D]e ghetto[G]
In the [D]ghetto[G]
[A]Then one night in desperation
A [G]young man breaks [D]away
He [G]buys a gun, [F#m]steals a car
[Em]Tries to run but [A]he don't get far
And [D]his mom [G]cries[D]
[G]As a cro[F#m]wd gathers round,
an angry young man fits [G]down on the
street with a [A]gun in his hand
In [D]the ghetto, [G]in the [D]ghetto
[G]As her you[D]ng man die[G]s, in the[D] ghetto
[G]On a [F#m]cold and grey Chicago morning,
an[G]other little baby [A]child is born
In the [D]ghetto, [Em]in th[G]e ghet[D]to
[G]And his[D] mother cries,
[G]in the ghe[D]tto[G][D][G]
I've [D]never felt [G]so...
