Ghetto

Elvis Presley
 ADAD
As the snow flies        
 E
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
 DE
A poor little baby child is born
 ADAD
In the ghetto         
 ADAD
And his mama cries        
 E
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
 DE
It's an-other hungry mouth to feed
 ADA
In the ghetto     
 E
People, don't you understand
 DA
The child needs a heeee-lping hand
 DEA
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
 E
Take a look at you and me,
 DA
Are we too bliiiiind to see,
 DA
 Do we simply turn our heads
 E
And look the other way
 ADAD
Well the world turns        
 E
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
 DE
 Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
 ADAD
 In the ghetto        
 ADAD
And his hunger burns        
 E
So he starts to roam the streets at night
 D
And he learns how to steal
 E
And he learns how to fight
 ADA
In the ghetto     
 E
 Then one night in desperation
 DA
A young man breaks away
 DA
He buys a gun, steals a car,
 E
 Tries to run, but he don't get far
 ADAD
And his mama cries        
 E
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
 DE
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
 ADAD
In the ghetto        
 ADAD
As her young man dies,        
 E
On a cold and gray chicago mornin',
 DE
An-other little baby child is born
 ADAD
In the ghetto
