In The Ghetto - Ver 2

Ab As the snow flies Cm On a cold and grey Chicago morning Db Eb A poor little baby child is born Ab In the ghetto Ab And his mama cries Cm 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need Db Eb It's another hungry mouth to feed Ab In the ghetto Eb So people won't you understand Db Ab The child needs a helping hand Db Eb Ab Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day Eb Take a look at you and me Db Ab Are we too blind to see Db Cm Bbm Eb Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way Ab Well the world turns Cm And a poor little boy with a runny nose Db Eb Plays in the street where the cold wind blows Ab In the ghetto Ab And his hunger burns Cm So he starts to roam the streets at night Db Eb And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight Ab In the ghetto Eb Then one night in desperation Db Ab A young man breaks away Db Ab He finds a gun, and he steals a car Db Eb And he tries to run, but he doesn't get far Ab And his mama cries Cm As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man Db Eb Face down on the street with a gun in his hand Ab In the ghetto Ab And as her young man dies Cm On a cold and grey Chicago morning Db Eb Another little baby child is born Ab In the ghetto Ab In the ghetto Ab In the ghetto.
