Ab                 Gsus4                
As the snow flies.    
      Ab                         Bbm                Es        
On a cold and grey Chicago morn'   a poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto
Ab                   Gsus4                         
And his mother cries  (in the ghetto)
          Ab                                       Bbm    
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another hungry
Es                        Ab     Gsus4                                
mouth to feed      In the ghetto
                     Es                              C#       Ab
So people won?t you understand   the child needs a helping hand
        C#                 Es                     Ab
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
               Es                       Bbm      Ab
And take a look at you and me   Are we too blind to see
   C#            Ab                    Bbm             Es
Or do we simply   turn our heads   and look the other way
      Ab              Gsus4                         
While the world turns
      Ab                                  Bbm           
And a poor little boy with a runny nose plays in the streets
          Es                       Ab     Gsus4                              
While the cold wind blows   in the ghetto  
        Ab           Gsus4                                    
and his hunger burns
      Ab                                          Bbm     
So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal

    Es                              Bbm                 Ab
And then one night in desperation   the young man breaks away
   C#                   Ab               Bbm                 Es
He finds a gun   and he steals a car and he tries to run but he doesn't get far
       Ab            Gsus4                                 
And his mother cries
    Ab                                                 Bbm 
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man    face down in the street
      Es                Ab    Gsus4                         
With a gun in his hand   in the ghetto  
               Ab           
And this young man dies
      Ab                         Bbm                 Es
