[Verse 1]
G G *
As the snow flies
On a Bmcold and grey Chicago mornin'
A Cpoor little baby Dchild is born
G G *
In the ghetto
[Verse 2]
G G *
And his mama cries
'cause if Bmthere's one thing that she don't need
It's Canother hungry Dmouth to feed
G G *
In the ghetto
[Chorus]
People don't you Dunderstand
The child needs a Chelping Ghand
Or Che'll grow to be an Dangry young man some Gday
Take a look at Dyou and me,
Are we too Cblind to Gsee
CDo we simply Bmturn our heads andAm look the otherD way
[Verse 3]
G G *
Well the world turns
And aBm hungry little boy with a runny nose
CPlays in the street as the Dcold wind blows
G G *
In the ghetto
[Verse 4]
G G *
And his hunger burns
so he stBmarts to roam the streets at night
And he Clearns how to steal, and he Dlearns how to fight
G G *
In the ghetto
[Bridge]
DThen one night in desperation
CA young man breaks Gaway
CHe buys a gun, Bmsteals a car,
AmTries to run, but he dDon't get far
[Verse 5]
G G *
And his mama cries
As a crowBmd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face Cdown on the street with a Dgun in his hand
G G *
In the ghetto
[Verse 6]
G G *
As her young man dies,
On a coldBm and grey Chicago mornin'
CAnother little baby Dchild is born
G G *
In the ghetto
G G *
In the ghetto...
