G# (xx1114@1)               Gsus (3x0013@1)              
As the snow flies.

On a cold and grey Chicago morn'   a poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto
G# (xx1114@1)                 Gsus (3x0013@1)                       
And his mother cries  (in the ghetto)
          G# (xx1114@1)                                     Bbm (x13321@1)  
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another hungry
Es                        G# (xx1114@1)   Gsus (3x0013@1)                              
mouth to feed      In the ghetto

        C# (x43121@1)               Es                     G#Or (xx1114@1)he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
               Es                       Bbm (x13321@1)    G#And (xx1114@1)take a look at you and me   Are we too blind to see

Or do we simply   turn our heads   and look the other way
      G# (xx1114@1)            Gsus (3x0013@1)                       
While the world turns

And a poor little boy with a runny nose plays in the streets
          Es                       G# (xx1114@1)   Gsus (3x0013@1)                            
While the cold wind blows   in the ghetto  
        G# (xx1114@1)         Gsus (3x0013@1)                                  
and his hunger burns
      G# (xx1114@1)                                        Bbm (x13321@1)   
So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal 
     Es                              G# (xx1114@1)   Gsus (3x0013@1)

And his mother cries
    G# (xx1114@1)                                               Bbm (x13321@1)As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man    face down in the street
      Es              	G# (xx1114@1)  Gsus (3x0013@1)                       
With a gun in his hand   in the ghetto  
               G# (xx1114@1)         
And this young man dies
      G# (xx1114@1)                       Bbm (x13321@1)               Es
On a cold and grey Chicago morn'   another little baby child is born

In the ghetto
       G# (xx1114@1)         
In the ghetto
