  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 )

  

            Amaj7                                       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
