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