[Intro]
E As the snow flies [Verse]
G#m On a cold and grey Chicago morn
A B7 A poor little baby boy is born in
E
the ghetto, and his momma cries
G#m 'Cos if there's one thing that
She don't need
A It's another little hungry
B7 E
Mouth to feed, in the ghetto [Chorus] B7 But people don't you understand,
A E
the child needs a helping hand
A B7 Or you're gonna meet an angry
E
young man some day
B7 Take a look at you and me,
A E
are we too blind to see
A G#m Do we simply turn our heads and
F#m B7
look the other way,
E
Well the world turns [Verse]
G#m And a hungry little boy
With a runny nose A Plays in the street as
B7 E
The cold wind blows in the ghetto,
and his hunger burns G#m So he starts to roam
The streets at night A And he learns how to steal and
B7
He learns how to fight,
E
In the ghetto [Chorus]
B7 Then one night in desperation,
A E
the young man breaks away
A G#m He buys a gun, steals a car
F#m He tries to run but
B7
He can't get far
E And his momma cries [Verse]
G#m As the crowd gather round
an angry young man A Face down on the street with
B7
a gun in his hand,
E
In the ghetto And as her young man dies [Chorus]
G#m On a cold and grey Chicago morn,
A B7
another little baby boy is born E In the ghetto, and
His momma cries,
in the ghetto
