In The Ghetto chords by Elvis Presley

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Intro:  A augmentedA D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD

A augmentedA          D MajorD A augmentedA
As the snow flies.
    C#m7C#m7              FF         G+G
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'  a poor little baby child is born
    A augmentedA       D MajorD A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA
In the ghetto
A augmentedA            D MajorD A augmentedA
And his mama cries (in the ghetto)
     C#m7C#m7
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need,
   FF       G+G             A augmentedA      D MajorD A augmentedA
It's another hungry mouth to feed    In the ghetto
         E MajorE                D MajorD    A augmentedA
People don't you understand  The child needs a helping hand
    D MajorD         E MajorE           A augmentedA
Or he'll grow up to be an angry young man some day
        E MajorE            D MajorD    A augmentedA
Take a look at you and me  Are we too blind to see
D MajorD      C#m7C#m7           Bm7Bm7    E MajorE
Do we just  turn our heads  and look the other way
   A augmentedA       D MajorD A augmentedA
Well the world turns

   C#m7C#m7                  D MajorD
And a hungry little child with a runny nose plays in the street
   E MajorE             A augmentedA         D MajorD A augmentedA
As the cold wind blows  In the ghetto And his hunger burns
A augmentedA           D MajorD A augmentedA
And his hunger burns
   C#m7C#m7                     D MajorD
So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal
    E MajorE               A augmentedA     D MajorD A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA
And he learns how to fight  In the ghetto
E MajorE                D MajorD         A augmentedA
Then one night in desperation  A augmentedA young man breaks away
  D MajorD      C#m7C#m7       Bm7Bm7         E MajorE
He buys a gun  steals a car  tries to run but he don't get far
A augmentedA          D MajorD A augmentedA
And his mama cries
  C#m7C#m7                     D MajorD
As a crowd gathers 'round  an angry young man  face down on the street
   E MajorE              A augmentedA      D MajorD A augmentedA
With a gun in his hand  In the ghetto
A augmentedA           D MajorD A augmentedA
As her young man dies
   C#m7C#m7              D MajorD          E MajorE
An a cold and grey Chicago mornin'  another little baby child is born
   A augmentedA      D MajorD A augmentedA
In the ghetto
