In The Ghetto chords by Nick Cave

Chords with lyrics

As the snow flies
C#m7C#m7
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
D MajorD		  E7E7			A augmentedA
A majorA poor little baby child is born in the ghetto

A augmentedA
And his mamma cries
C#m7C#m7
'Cos if there's one thing that she don't need
   D MajorD		   E7E7			 A augmentedA
It is another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto

		E MajorE
People dont you understand
		 D MajorD	  A augmentedA
The child needs a helping hand
D MajorD		     E MajorE		   A augmentedA
he's gonna grow to be an angry young man some day
		E MajorE
Take a look at you and me
      D MajorD    A augmentedA
Are we too blind to see
  D MajorD      C# minorC#m         B minorBm        E7E7
Or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way

and the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto

E MajorE				 D MajorD		  A augmentedA
Then one night in desperation the young man breaks away
  D MajorD		 C#m7C#m7
He buys a gun, he steals a car,
  B minorBm			E7E7
He tries to run but he don't get far

And his mamma cries
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
And as her young man dies
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
Another little baby child is born in the ghetto
