In The Ghetto chords by Dolly Parton

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
As the snow flies

   E minorEm
On a cold and gray Chicago morn

 FF        G7G7          C majorC
A augmentedA poor little baby child is born in the ghetto


And his momma cries

   E minorEm
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

   FF           G7G7          C majorC
It's another little hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto

         G7G7             FF     C majorC
People can't you understand the child needs a helping hand

FF          G7G7         C majorC
He'll grow to be an angry young man someday

        G7G7        FF      C majorC
Take a look at you and me are we too blind to see

FF      E minorEm         DmDm       G7G7
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way

     C majorC
While the world turns


 E minorEm
A augmentedA hungry little boy with a running nose

FF              G7G7           C majorC
Plays in the streets as the cold wind blows in the ghetto


And his hunger burns

   E minorEm
So he starts to roam the streets at night

    FF             G7G7             C majorC
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto

  G7G7                FF        C majorC
And then one night in desperation the young man breaks away

    FF         E minorEm      DmDm
And he buys a gun and he steals a car tries to run but don't get far

    C majorC
And his momma cries

   E minorEm
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man

   FF           G7G7           C majorC
Paces down the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto


And the young man dies


   E minorEm
On a cold and gray Chicago morn

FF          G7G7          C majorC
Another little baby child is born in the Ghetto


And his momma cries
