In The Ghetto (vicious Circle) chords by Elvis Presley

Chords with lyrics

Intro:  A augmentedA D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD
A augmentedA           D MajorD A augmentedA
As the snow flies.
   Amaj7Amaj7             B minorBm         E MajorE
On a cold and grey Chicago morn'  another liitle 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 mother cries (in the ghetto)
     Amaj7Amaj7                    B minorBm
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another little hungry
E MajorE            A augmentedA      D MajorD A augmentedA
mouth to feed   In the ghetto
           E MajorE                D MajorD    A augmentedA
Now 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            B minorBm   A augmentedA
Take a look at you and me  Are we too blind to see
  D MajorD      Amaj7Amaj7          B minorBm       E MajorE
Or do we just  turn our heads  and look the other way
   A augmentedA       D MajorD A augmentedA
as the world turns
   Amaj7Amaj7                 B minorBm      .
and a hungry little child with a runny nose plays in the streets
   E MajorE             A augmentedA         D MajorD A augmentedA
as the cold wind blows  And his hunger burns
   Amaj7Amaj7                     B minorBm
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               B minorBm         A augmentedA
And then one night in desperation  A augmentedA young man breaks away
  D MajorD      Amaj7Amaj7      B minorBm         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 mother cries
  Amaj7Amaj7                     B minorBm
As a crowd gathers 'round  an angry young man  face down in the street
   E MajorE
with a gun in his hand
        A augmentedA      D MajorD A augmentedA
as her young man dies
   Amaj7Amaj7             B minorBm         E MajorE
on a cold and grey Chicago morn'  another little baby child is born
   A augmentedA      D MajorD A augmentedA
In the ghetto
            D MajorD A augmentedA
And his mama cries
