Intro:
Ab G4 Ab G4
AbAs the snow flies. G4
On a cAbold and grey Chicago morn' Bbm a poor little baE4by child is born
In the Abghetto G4
AbAnd his mother cries G4(in the ghetto)
'Cause if tAbhere's one thing that she don't need it'Bbms another hungry
E4mouth to feed In the Abghetto G4
So people won't you uE4nderstand the child needs a heDblping hanAbd
Or he'llDb grow to be an angrE4y young man some day Ab
And take a lookE4 at you and me Are we tBbmoo blind Abto see
Or dDbo we simply Abturn our heads and lBbmook the other way
While Abthe world turns G4
And a pAboor little boy with a runny nose plaBbmys in the streets
While the E4cold wind blows in the Abghetto G4
and his Abhunger burns G4
So he sAbtarts to roam the streets at night and he leBbmarns how to steal
And hE4e learns how to fight in the Abghetto G4
And E4then one night in desperation Bbmthe young man breaksAb away
He fDbinds a gun and he sAbteals a car and hBbme tries to run but he doesn't get far
And hisAb mother cries G4
As a Abcrowd gathers 'round an angry young man face dowBbmn in the street
With aE4 gun in his hand Ab in theG4 ghetto
And this young mAban dies
On a cAbold and grey Chicago morn' Bbm another little baE4by child is born
In the gAbhetto
