Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:   A  D   A   D

A                    D A
As the snow flies.
       C#m7                            F                 G
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'   a poor little baby child is born
       A             D A      D A
In the ghetto
A                        D A
And his mama cries  (in the ghetto)
          C#m7
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need,
     F             G                          A           D A
It's another hungry mouth to feed        In the ghetto
                 E                               D       A
People don't you understand   The child needs a helping hand
        D                 E                     A
Or he'll grow up to be  an angry young man some day
               E                       D        A
Take a look at you and me   Are we too blind to see
D            C#m7                      Bm7        E
Do we just   turn our heads   and look the other way
     A              D A
Well the world turns

      C#m7                                   D
And a hungry little child with a runny nose  plays in the street
      E                         A                 D  A
As the cold wind blows    In the ghetto And his hunger burns
A                     D A
And his hunger burns
      C#m7                                         D
So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal
       E                              A         D A    D A
And he learns how to fight    In the ghetto
E                               D                  A
Then one night in desperation   A young man breaks away
   D           C#m7             Bm7                  E
He buys a gun   steals a car   tries to run  but he don't get far
A                    D A
And his mama cries
    C#m7                                          D
As a crowd gathers 'round   an angry young man    face down on the street
      E                           A           D A
With a gun in his hand    In the ghetto
A                     D A
As her young man dies
      C#m7                           D                   E
An a cold and grey Chicago mornin'   another little baby child is born
      A           D A
In the ghetto
