<< Back to Elvis Presley Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7 Version 9 Version 10 Version 11In the Ghetto - Elvis Presley (Interpreted by ROCKGEBIET) Standard guitar tuning. We arrenged the Song in C and not in the orig. key, and we play version with Lisa Marie and Elvis. To get the typical hammer on/pull of sound I use the open C-chord and put one finger of fret on the thin E String. In the chords I write this as the following: Csus4 Try it and have fun!!! [Intro] C Csus4 C Csus4 As the snow flies Em On a cold and grey chicago mornin' F G A poor little baby child is born C Csus4 In the ghetto C Csus4 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 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 F G Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way C Csus4 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 Csus4 In the ghetto C Csus4 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 G Then one night in desperation F C A young man breaks away F Em He buys a gun, steals a car, F G Tries to run, but he don't get far C Csus4 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 Csus4 And as her young man dies, Em On a cold and grey chicago mornin', F G Another little baby child is born C In the ghetto C Csus4 And his mama cries Em On a cold and grey chicago mornin', F G Another little baby child is born C In the ghetto Em On a cold and grey chicago mornin' F G Another little baby child is born C In the ghetto Em On a cold and grey chicago mornin', F G Another little baby child is born C In the ghetto By Christoph Gröger of ROCKGEBIET -.rockgebiet.de 29.01.2008
