Ghetto chords by Joan Baez

Chords with lyrics

G+G
If you ever lived in a ghetto
G+G               D7D7
And maybe at the close of your day
G+G                      C majorC     A7A7
On your front porch you hear the sound of a jukebox
G+G        C majorC  G+G
From the neighborhood cafe

G+G
Well, in the noon you may hear the neighbors fussing
G+G             D7D7
When a kid breaks a window-pane
G+G                   C majorC     A7A7
In the night, in the night you may be wakened
G+G         C majorC    G+G
By the sound of he outbound train


G+G
Well, the rich folks they own the big city
G+G                   D7D7
And they down us who living the way we do
G+G                 C majorC     A7A7
But when you're born a child of a poor man
G+G             C majorC       G+G
You know the ghetto is the only place for you


G+G
Well, if there's such a thing as revolution
G+G                  D7D7
And there will be if we rise to the call
G+G                          C majorC      A7A7
When we build, we build, we build, we build the new Jerusalem
G+G           C majorC         G+G
There won't be no more ghetto, ghetto at all
G+G             C majorC         G+G
No, there won't be no more ghetto, ghetto at all
