In The Ghetto Acoustic Live chords by christine petts

[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
