[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
