Intro: A D A D A D A As the snow flies.
Amaj7 Bm E On a cold and grey Chicago morn' another liitle baby child is born
A D A D A In the ghetto
A D A And his mother cries ( in the ghetto )
Amaj& Bm 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another little hungry
E A D A mouth to feed In the ghetto
E D A Now 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 Bm A Take a look at you and me Are we too blind to see
D Amaj7 Bm E Or do we just turn our heads and look the other way
A D A as the world turns
Amaj7 Bm . and a hungry little child with a runny nose plays in the streets
E A D A as the cold wind blows And his hunger burns
Amaj7 Bm 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 Bm A And then one night in desperation A young man breaks away
D Amaj7 Bm E He buys a gun steals a car tries to run but he don't get far
A D A and his mother cries
Amaj7 Bm As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down in the street
E with a gun in his hand
A D A as her young man dies
Amaj7 Bm E on a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born
A D A In the ghetto
D A And his mama cries
