       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.
