A D A
As the snow flies
A
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’

A poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto

And his mama cries

It’s another hungry mouth to feed

In the ghetto

People, don’t you understand

The child needs a helping hand

Take a look at you and me

A D A
Well the world turns
A Bm
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
E
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
A D A
In the ghetto
E
And his hunger burns
Bm A
So he starts to roam the streets at night
A D A
And he learns how to steal
A D A
And he learns how to fight
A D A
In the ghetto
E
Then one night in desperation
D A
The young man breaks the rules
E
He buys a gun, steals a car
D A
Tries to run, but he don’t get far
A D A
And his mama cries
A
As a crowd gathers ’round an angry young man
Bm E
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
A D A
In the ghetto
A D A
As her young man dies
A
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’
Bm E
Another little baby child is born
A D A
In the ghetto
D A
And his mama cries
