[A][D][A][D]

[A] As the snow flies. [D][A]

On a [Amaj7] cold and grey Chicago morn

[Bm] another liitle baby [E] child is born

[A] In the ghetto [D][A]

And his [A] mother cries [D][A]

'Cause if [Amaj7] there's one thing that she don't need,

It's [Bm] another little hungry [E] mouth to feed

[A] In the ghetto [D][A]

Now people don't you [E] understand

The child needs a [D] helping [A] hand

Or [D] he'll grow up to be an [E] angry young man some [A] day

Take a look at [E] you and me

Are we too [Bm] blind to [A] see

Or [D] do we simply [Amaj7] turn our heads

And [Bm] look the other [E] way

[A] as the world turns [D][A]

And a [Amaj7] hungry little child with a runny nose

[Bm] Plays in the streets as the [E] cold wind blows

[A] And his hunger burns [D][A]

So he [Amaj7] starts to roam the streets at night

And he [Bm] learns how to steal and he [E] learns how to fight

[A] In the ghetto [D][A]

And [E] then one night in desperation

[Bm] A young man breaks [A] away

[D] He buys a gun [Amaj7] steals a car

[Bm] Tries to run but he [E] don't get far

And his [A] mother cries [D][A]

As a [Amaj7] crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

Face [Bm] down in the street with a [E] gun in his hand   

And as the [A] young man dies [D][A]

On a [Amaj7] cold and grey Chicago morning

[Bm] Another little baby [E] child is born

[A] In the ghetto [D][A]

And his [A] mama cries [D][A]
