[Verse 1]
       A A *
As the snow flies
     C#m
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'
  D                E
A poor little baby child is born
       A A *
In the ghetto


[Verse 2]
       A A *
And his mama cries
          C#m
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
     D              E
It's another hungry mouth to feed
       A A *
In the ghetto


[Chorus]
                 E
People don't you understand
                  D       A
The child needs a helping hand
   D                   E                    A
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
               E
Take a look at you and me,
           D        A
Are we too blind to see
D            C#m                Bm             E
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way


[Verse 3]
        A A *
Well the world turns
     C#m                        
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
D                          E
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
       A A *
In the ghetto


[Verse 4]
       A A *  
And his hunger burns
        C#m
so he starts to roam the streets at night
       D                           E
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
       A A *
In the ghetto


[Bridge]
E
Then one night in desperation
D                  A
A young man breaks away
D              C#m
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Bm                    E
Tries to run, but he don't get far


[Verse 5]
        A A *
And his mama cries
         C#m    
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
     D                         E    
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
       A A *
In the ghetto


[Verse 6]
       A A *
As her young man dies,
         C#m
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'
D                   E    
Another little baby child is born
       A A *
In the ghetto
        A A *
And his mama cries...
