In The Ghetto Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G]
As the snow [Gsus4]flies[G]
On a [Bm]cold and grey Chicago morning
A [C]poor little baby [D]child is
born in the [G]ghetto
And his mama [Gsus4]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
People don't you [D]understand,
the child needs [C]a helping [G]hand
He [C]grew up to be an [D]angry
young man [G]someday
So take a look at [D]you and me,
are we too [C]blind to see?
[G]Or do [C]we simply turn our[G] heads[Bm]
an[Am]d look the other [D]way?
Well, the [G]world [C]turns[G]
And [Bm]a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[C]Plays in the street
as the [D]cold wind blows
in the [G]ghetto[C][G][C][G]
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
[G]the ghetto[Gsus4][G]
[D]Then one night, in desperation,
a [C]young man breaks away
[G]He buy[C]s a gun, ste[Bm]als a car,
he [Am]tries to run, [D]but he don't get far
And his momma [G]cries[Gsus4][G]
[D]As the [Bm]crowd gathers round
An angry young man
Face[C]down in the street
With [D]a gun in his hand
In [G]the ghetto[C][G]
As our young man [C]dies[G]
On [Bm]a cold and grey Chicago mornin'
An[C]other little baby [D]child is
born in [G]the ghetto[C][G]
In the [C]ghetto[G]
In the [C]ghetto[G]
You
