In The Ghetto

Intro: A A As the snow flies C#m On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' Bm E A poor little baby child is born A In the ghetto And his mama cries C#m 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need Bm E It's another hungry mouth to feed A In the ghetto E So people, don't you understand F#m D The child needs a helping hand F#m D A Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day E Take a look at you and me, F#m D Are we too blind to see, C#m Bm Do we simply turn our heads D E And look the other way A Well the world turns C#m And a poor little boy with a runny nose Bm E Plays in the street as the cold wind blows A In the ghetto And his hunger burns C#m So he starts to roam the streets at night Bm And he learns how to steal E And he learns how to fight A In the ghetto E Then one night in desperation F#m D A young man breaks away C#m Bm He buys a gun, steals a car, D E Tries to run, but he doesn't get far A And his mama cries C#m As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man Bm E Face down on the street with a gun in his hand A In the ghetto As her young man dies, C#m On a cold and gray Chicago mornin', Bm E Another little baby child is born A In the ghetto A In the ghetto... ----------------- Acordes ----------------- A = X 0 2 2 2 0 Bm = X 2 4 4 3 2 C#m = X 4 6 6 5 4 D = X X 0 2 3 2 E = 0 2 2 1 0 0 F#m = 2 4 4 2 2 2
