[Verse 1]
As the [C]snow [F]flies[C][F]
On [Em]a cold and gray chicago mornin
[F]A poor little baby [G]child is born
In the [C]ghetto[F][C][F]
And [C]his mama [F]cries[C][F]
Cause if theres [Em]one thing that she dont need
Its an[F]other hungry [G]mouth to feed
In the [C]ghetto

People, dont you [G]understand
The child needs [F]a helping h[C]and

In the [C]ghetto
[F][C][F]

[Verse 5]
[G]Then one night in desperation
A [F]young man breaks [Cm]away[C]

a gun [Gsus4]in his hand
[C]In the ghetto
[F][G][C][F]

[Verse 7]
[C]As her young man [Am]dies,
[Eaug][Gsus4]
[C]On a col[Em]d and gray chicago mornin,
[Dm]Another little baby [Gsus4]child is bor[G]n
