   C* = the little tabbed part.

       C*
   As the snow flies
      G+G
   On a cold and gray Chicago morning
    FF        G+G
   A augmentedA poor little baby child is born
       C*
   In the Ghetto

C*
   And his mama cries
        G+G
   Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
      FF      G+G
   Its another hungry mouth to feed
       C*
   In the ghetto

G+G
   People don't you understand
             FF   C majorC
   This child needs a helping hand
     FF       G+G           C majorC
   Or he'll grow to be an angry young man someday
           G+G
   Take a look at you and me
         FF    C majorC
   Are we too blind to see
   FF      G+G         C majorC       G+G
   Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?

C*
   Well the world turns
      G+G
   And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
   FF             G+G
   Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
       C*
   In the ghetto

C*
   And his hunger burns
      G+G
   So he starts to roam the streets at night
       FF
   And he learns how to steal
       G+G
   And he learns how to fight
       C*
   In the ghetto

G+G
   Then one night in desperation
    FF        C majorC
   A augmentedA young man breaks away
     FF      G+G
   He buys a gun, Steals a car
    FF          G+G
   Tries to run, but he don't get far

C*
   And his mama cries
      G+G
   As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
      FF             G+G
   face down on the street with a gun in his hand
       C*
   In the Ghetto

C*
   As her young man dies
      G+G
   On a cold and gray Chicago morning
    FF          G+G
   Another little baby child is born
       C*
   In the ghetto

C*
   And his mama cries. (fade out)

Cheers.
