[Verse 1]
A A
As the snow flies
C#m
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin'
D E
A poor little baby child is born
A A
In the ghetto
[Verse 2]
A A
And his mama cries
C#m
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
D E
It's another hungry mouth to feed
A A
In the ghetto
[Chorus]
E
People don't you understand
D A
The child needs a helping hand
D E A
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
E
Take a look at you and me,
D A
Are we too blind to see
D C#m Bm E
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way
[Verse 3]
A A
Well the world turns
C#m
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
D E
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
A A
In the ghetto
[Verse 4]
A A
And his hunger burns
C#m
so he starts to roam the streets at night
D E
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
A A
In the ghetto
