In The Ghetto Acordes

Intro:
A  D   A   D
 
A                   D A
As the snow flies
      Amaj7                       Bm                 E
On a cold and grey Chicago morn' another liitle baby child is born
       A        D A      D A
In the ghetto
 
A                        D A
And his mother cries (in the ghetto)
          Amaj7                                       Bm
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another little hungry
E                        A       D A
mouth to feed     In the ghetto
 
                     E                               D       A
Now people don't you understand   The child needs a helping hand
        D                E                     A
Or he'll grow up to be an angry young man some day
               E                       Bm      A
Take a look at you and me   Are we too blind to see
   D          Amaj7                  Bm             E
Or do we just turn our heads and look the other way
 
      A              D A
as the world turns
      Amaj7                                 Bm
and a hungry little child with a runny nose plays in the streets
      E                           A       D A
as the cold wind blows     In the ghetto
 
        A             D  A
And his hunger burns
      Amaj7                                          Bm
So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal
       E                              A       D A    D A
and he learns how to fight    In the ghetto
 
    E                              Bm                 A
And then one night in desperation   A young man breaks away
   D           Amaj7           Bm                  E
He buys a gun, steals a car   Tries to run, but he don't get far
 
        A             D A
And his mother cries
    Amaj7                                    Bm
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down in the street
      E
with a gun in his hand
 
              A        D A
As her young man dies
      Amaj7                       Bm                 E
on a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born
      A         D A
In the ghetto
                    D A
And his mama cries
