     C* = the little tabbed part.
             
             C*
      As the snow flies
           G (320003@1)     On a cold and gray Chicago morning 
        F (133211@1)              G (320003@1)      A poor little baby child is born 
             C* 
      In the Ghetto

C*
      And his mama cries 
               G (320003@1)     
      Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
            F (133211@1)          G (320003@1)     Its another hungry mouth to feed 
             C*
      In the ghetto

G (320003@1)     People don't you understand
                          F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1)     This child needs a helping hand
         F (133211@1)           G (320003@1)                   C (x32010@1)     Or he'll grow to be an angry young man someday
                     G (320003@1)     Take a look at you and me
                 F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)     Are we too blind to see
      F (133211@1)          G (320003@1)                C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)  
      Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?

C*
      Well the world turns
            G (320003@1)     And a hungry little boy with a runny nose 
      F (133211@1)                        G (320003@1)      Plays in the street as the cold wind blows 
             C* 
      In the ghetto

C*
      And his hunger burns
            G (320003@1)     So he starts to roam the streets at night 
             F (133211@1)     And he learns how to steal 
             G (320003@1)     And he learns how to fight 
             C*
      In the ghetto

G (320003@1)     Then one night in desperation
        F (133211@1)              C (x32010@1)     A young man breaks away 
         F (133211@1)         G (320003@1)     He buys a gun, Steals a car
       F (133211@1)                 G (320003@1)     Tries to run, but he don't get far

C*
      And his mama cries
           G (320003@1)     As a crowd gathers round an angry young man 
           F (133211@1)                       G (320003@1)     face down on the street with a gun in his hand 
             C*
      In the Ghetto

C*
      As her young man dies 
           G (320003@1)     On a cold and gray Chicago morning 
       F (133211@1)                 G (320003@1)     Another little baby child is born 
             C*
      In the ghetto

C*
      And his mama cries.  (fade out)

Cheers.
