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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

C*
      And his mama cries.  (fade out)

Cheers.
