In The Ghetto chords by Dolly Parton

C
As the snow flies

   Em
On a cold and gray Chicago morn

 F        G7          C
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto


And his momma cries

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

   F           G7          C
It's another little hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto

         G7             F     C
People can't you understand the child needs a helping hand

F          G7         C
He'll grow to be an angry young man someday

        G7        F      C
Take a look at you and me are we too blind to see

F      Em         Dm       G7
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way

     C
While the world turns


 Em
A hungry little boy with a running nose

F              G7           C
Plays in the streets as the cold wind blows in the ghetto


And his hunger burns

   Em
So he starts to roam the streets at night

    F             G7             C
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto


  G7                F        C
And then one night in desperation the young man breaks away

    F         Em      Dm
And he buys a gun and he steals a car tries to run but don't get far

    C
And his momma cries

   Em
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man

   F           G7           C
Paces down the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto


And the young man dies


   Em
On a cold and gray Chicago morn

F          G7          C
Another little baby child is born in the Ghetto


And his momma cries
