Intro:

Bb


Verse:

       Bb
As the snow flies
     Dm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
  Eb                 F                  Bb
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
        Bb
And his Mama cries
        Dm
Cos if there's one thing that she dont need
        Eb           F                    Bb
It is another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto

Chorus:

                F
People dont you understand
                  Eb      Bb
The child needs a helping hand
   Eb                F                    Bb
Or he'll gonna be an angry young man some day
               F
Take a look at you and me
           Eb       Bb
Are we too blind to see
   Eb           Dm                 Cm             F
Or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way


Verse 2:

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


Chorus 2:

F                                 Eb                   Bb
Then one night in desperation the young man breaks the rules
   Eb            Dm
He buys a gun he steals a car
   Cm                  F
He tries to run but he dont get far


Verse 3:

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