so this is the one to play along the CD.
Intro: A# A#
As the [A#]snow flies[A#]
On a [Dm]cold and gray chicago mornin'
A [D#]poor little baby [F]child is born
In the [A#]ghetto[A#]
And his [A#]mama cries[A#]
Cause if [Dm]theres one thing that she don't need
It's an[D#]other hungry [F]mouth to feed
In the [A#]ghetto[A#]
People, dont you [F]understand
The child needs a [D#]helping [A#]hand
Or [D#]he'll grow to be an [F]angry young man some [A#]day
[A#]Take a look at y[F]ou and me,
Are we too [D#]blind to s[A#]ee,
[D#]Do we simply t[Dm]urn our heads
And [D#]look the other w[F]ay
Well the [A#]world turns[A#]
And a [Dm]hungry little boy with a runny nose
[D#]Plays in the street as the c[F]old wind blows
In the [A#]ghetto[A#]
And his [A#]hunger burns[A#]
So he [Dm]starts to roam the streets at night
And he [D#]learns how to steal
And he [F]learns how to fight
In the [A#]ghetto[A#]
[F]Then one night in desperation
A yo[D#]ung man breaks a[A#]way
He [D#]buys a gun, [Dm]steals a car,
[D#]Tries to run, but he [F]don't get far
And his [A#]mama cries[A#]
As a c[Dm]rowd gathers round an angry young man
Face [D#]down on the street with a [F]gun in his hand
In the g[A#]hetto[A#]
As he[A#]r young man dies,[A#]
On a [Dm]cold and gray chicago mornin',
Ano[D#]ther little baby [F]child is born
In the [A#]ghetto[A#]
And his [A#]mama cries[A#]
