In The Ghetto

Elvis Presley

 AC#m7
 As the snow flies... On a cold and grey Chicago morning
 DE7A
poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
 AC#m7
And his mamma cries... 'Cos if there's one thing that she dont need
 DE7A
It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto

 E
People dont you understand
 DA
The child needs a helping hand
 DEA
Or he'll gonna be an angry young man some day
 E
Take a look at you and me
 DA
Are we too blind to see
 DC#mBmE7
Or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way

 AC#m7
Well, the world turns... And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
 DE7A
 Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
 AC#m7
And his hunger burns... So he starts to roam the streets at night
 DE7A
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto

 EDA
Then one night in desperation the young man breaks away
 DC#m7
He buys a gun, he steals a car,
 BmE7
He tries to run but he dont get far

 AC#m7
And his mamma cries... As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
 DE7A
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
 AC#m7
And as her young man dies... On a cold and grey Chicago morning
 DE7A
Another little baby child is born in the ghetto...
