A augmentedA 
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
As the snow flies
E MajorE
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
D MajorD E MajorE
A augmentedA poor little baby child is born
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
In the ghetto
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And his mama cries
E MajorE
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
D MajorD E MajorE
It's an-other hungry mouth to feed
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
In the ghetto
E MajorE
People, don't you understand
D MajorD A augmentedA
The child needs a heeee-lping hand
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
Or he'll 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 bliiiiind to see,
D MajorD A augmentedA
Do we simply turn our heads
E MajorE
And look the other way
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Well the world turns
E MajorE
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
D MajorD E MajorE
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
In the ghetto
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And his hunger burns
E MajorE
So he starts to roam the streets at night
D MajorD
And he learns how to steal
E MajorE
And he learns how to fight
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
In the ghetto
E MajorE
Then one night in desperation
D MajorD A augmentedA
A majorA young man breaks away
D MajorD A augmentedA
He buys a gun, steals a car,
E MajorE
Tries to run, but he don't get far
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And his mama cries
E MajorE
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
D MajorD E MajorE
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
In the ghetto
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
As her young man dies,
E MajorE
On a cold and gray chicago mornin',
D MajorD E MajorE
An-other little baby child is born
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
In the ghetto
