[Intro] G [Verse] G As the snow flies Bm On a cold and grey Chicago morning C D G A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto G And his mamma cries Bm 'Cos if there's one thing that she dont need C D It is another hungry mouth to G feed in the ghetto [Chorus] D People dont you understand C G The child needs a helping hand C D G Or he'll gonna be an angry young man some day D Take a look at you and me C G Are we too blind to see C Bm Am D Or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way [Verse] G Well, the world turn Bm And a hungry little boy with a runny nose C D G Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto G And his hunger burns Bm So he starts to roam the streets at night C D And he learns how to steal and he learns G how to fight in the ghetto [Chorus] D C Then one night in desperation the young G man breaks the rules C Bm He buys a gun, he steals a car, Am D He tries to run but he dont get far [Verse] G And his mamma cries Bm As a crowd gathers round an angry young man C D Face down in the street with a gun in his G hand in the ghetto G And as her young man dies Bm On a cold and grey Chicago morning C D G Another little baby child is born in the ghetto G And his mamma cries
