A DA
As the snow flies.
A7M Bm E
On a cold and grey Chicago morn' another liitle baby child is born
A DA
In the ghetto
A DA
And his mother cries ( in the ghetto )
A7M Bm
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another little hungry
E A DA
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 A7M Bm E
Or do we just turn our heads and look the other way
A DA
as the world turns
A7M 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
A7M Bm
So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal
E A DA
and he learns how to fight In the ghetto
E Bm A
And then one night in desperation A young man breaks away
D A7M Bm E
He buys a gun steals a car tries to run but he don't get far
A DA
and his mother cries
A7M Bm
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down in the
E
street with a gun in his hand
A DA
as her young man dies
A7M Bm E
on a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born
A DA
In the ghetto
DA
And his mama cries
