Cifras
In The Ghetto

A                                                         DA  
As the snow flies.
                A7+                                                                 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 )
                          A7+                                                                                                      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                              A7+                                                    Bm                                 E  
Or do we just      turn our heads      and look the other way
                A                                    DA  
as the world turns
                A7+                                                                                         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
                A7+                                                                                                              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                            A7+                            Bm                                              E  
He buys a gun      steals a car      tries to run    but he don't get far
A                                                    DA  
and his mother cries
          A7+                                                                                                            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
                A7+                                                                 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
