Intro
[C]
Verse 1
[C]
As the snow flies
[Em]
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[F] [G]
A poor little baby child is born
[C]
In the ghetto
[C]
And his mama cries
[Em]
cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[F] [G]
It's another hungry mouth to feed
[C]
In the ghetto
Chorus
[G]
People, don't you understand
[F] [C]
The child needs a helping hand
[F] [G] [C]
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
[G]
Take a look at you and me
[F] [C]
Are we too blind to see
[F] [Em]
Do we simply turn our heads
[Dm] [G]
And look the other way
Verse 2
[C]
Well, the world turns
[Em]
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[F] [G]
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[C]
In the ghetto
[C]
And his hunger burns
[Em]
So he starts to roam the streets at night
[F]
And he learns how to steal
[G]
And he learns how to fight
[C]
In the ghetto
Chorus
[G]
Then one night in desperation
[F] [C]
A young man breaks away
[F] [Em]
He buys a gun, he steals a car
[Dm] [G]
He tries to run, but he don't get far
Verse 3
[C]
And his mama cries
[Em]
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
[F] [G]
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[C]
In the ghetto
[C]
And as her young man dies
[Em]
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
[F] [G]
Another little baby child is born
[C]
In the ghetto
[C]
And his mama cries
