[Verse 1]
       G G *
As the snow flies
     Bm
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'
  C                D
A poor little baby child is born
       G G *
In the ghetto


[Verse 2]
       G G *
And his mama cries
          Bm
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
     C              D
It's another hungry mouth to feed
       G G *
In the ghetto


[Chorus]
                 D
People don't you understand
                  C       G
The child needs a helping hand
   C                   D                    G
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
               D
Take a look at you and me,
           C        G
Are we too blind to see
C            Bm                Am             D
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way


[Verse 3]
        G G *
Well the world turns
     Bm
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
C                          D
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
       G G *
In the ghetto


[Verse 4]
       G G *
And his hunger burns
        Bm
so he starts to roam the streets at night
       C                           D
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
       G G *
In the ghetto


[Bridge]
D
Then one night in desperation
C                  G
A young man breaks away
C              Bm
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Am                    D
Tries to run, but he don't get far


[Verse 5]
        G G *
And his mama cries
         Bm
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
     C                         D
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
       G G *
In the ghetto


[Verse 6]
       G G *
As her young man dies,
         Bm
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'
C                   D
Another little baby child is born
       G G *
In the ghetto
        G G *
In the ghetto...
