There are still some versions of the song, but all of them are in the wrong key, so this is the one to play along the CD. Intro: Bb Bb Bb Bb As the snow flies Dm On a cold and gray chicago mornin' Eb F A poor little baby child is born Bb Bb In the ghetto Bb Bb And his mama cries Dm Cause if theres one thing that she don't need Eb F It's another hungry mouth to feed Bb Bb In the ghetto F People, dont you understand Eb Bb The child needs a helping hand Eb F Bb Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day Bb F Take a look at you and me, Eb Bb Are we too blind to see, Eb Dm Do we simply turn our heads Eb F And look the other way Bb Bb Well the world turns Dm And a hungry little boy with a runny nose Eb F Plays in the street as the cold wind blows Bb Bb In the ghetto Bb Bb And his hunger burns Dm So he starts to roam the streets at night Eb And he learns how to steal F And he learns how to fight Bb Bb In the ghetto F Then one night in desperation Eb Bb A young man breaks away Eb Dm He buys a gun, steals a car, Eb F Tries to run, but he don't get far Bb Bb And his mama cries Dm As a crowd gathers round an angry young man Eb F Face down on the street with a gun in his hand Bb Bb In the ghetto Bb Bb As her young man dies, Dm On a cold and gray chicago mornin', Eb F Another little baby child is born Bb Bb In the ghetto Bb Bb And his mama cries Outro: Bb
