[F][G][C][G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
As [G]the snow flies,
[Bm]on a cold and grey Chicago morn
A [C]poor little baby [D]child is born
in the [G]ghetto[C][D]
[G]An d his mama cries
Cause [Bm]there's one thing
that she don't need
is an[C]other little hungry mouth
[D]to feed in the ghe[G]tto
Oh [C]people, don't you [Bm]understand?
This child needs a [C]helping [G]hand
[C]He's gonna grow to be
[D]an angry young man [G]someday
Ah, take a look at [Bm]you and me,
are we that [C]blind to [G]see?
[C]Do we simply [Bm]turn our heads
and [Am]look the other [D]way?
And the [G]world [C]turns
[G]And the hun[Bm]gry little boy
with the burning nose
[C]Plays in the streets
as [D]the cold wind blows in [G]the ghetto[D][G]
And his hunger [C]burns
[G]So [Bm]he starts to roam
the streets at night
And he [C]learns how to steal
And [D]he learns how to fight
in the [G]ghetto[C][G][C]
[Bm]Then one night in desperation
A [C]young man breaks away
[G]He buy[C]s a gun and he ste[Bm]als a car
He [Am]tries to run but he [D]don't get far
And his [G]mama [C]cries[G]
[Bm]A crowd gets around
an angry young man
face [C]down to the street
with a [D]gun in his hand in the [G]ghetto[D]
[G]Oh [C]people don't you [Bm]understand?
This child needs a [C]helping [G]hand
[C]He's gonna grow to be
[D]an angry young man [G]someday
Hey take a look at [Bm]you and me
Are [G]we that [C]blind to [G]see?
[C]Do we simply [Bm]turn our hats
and [Am]look the other [D]way?
As [G]the young man [C]dies
[G]On a c[Bm]old and crazy cock -o' -morn
An[C]other little baby [D]child is born
In [G]the ghetto[C]
[G]In the ghetto, [C]in [G]the ghetto
[C]In [G]the[C] ghetto[G], ghetto
