[Intro]
E
As the snow flies
[Verse 1]
G#m
On a cold and grey Chicago morn
A B7 E
a poor little baby boy is born in the ghetto, and his momma cries
G#m
'Cos if there's one thing that she don't need
A B7 E
It's another little hungry mouth to feed, in the ghetto
[Chorus 1]
B7 A E
But people don't you understand, the child needs a helping hand
A B7 E
Or you're gonna meet an angry young man some day
B7 A E
Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see
A G#m F#m B7 E
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way, well the world turns
[Verse 2]
G#m
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
A B7 E
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto, and his hunger
burns
G#m
So he starts to roam the streets at night
A B7 E
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight, in the ghetto
[Chorus 2]
B7 A E
Then one night in desperation, the young man breaks away
A G#m
He buys a gun, steals a car
F#m B7
He tries to run but he can't get far
E
And his momma cries
[Verse 3]
G#m
As the crowd gather round an angry young man
A B7 E
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand, in the ghetto
And as her young man dies
