H=hammer on
           A
    As the snow flies
         C#m
    On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
      D                E
    A poor little baby child is born
           A
    In the ghetto
            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
    In the ghetto
                      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
    Or do we simply turn our heads
        Bm             E
    And look the other way
           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
    In the ghetto
          A
    And his hunger burns
          C#m
    So he starts to roam the streets at night
          D
    And he learns how to steal
          E
    And he learns how to fight
          A
    In the ghetto
        E
    And then one night in desperation
      D                A
    A young man breaks away
       D           C#m
    He buys a gun, steals a car
    Bm                   E
    Tries to run, but he don't get far
            A
    And his mama cries
         C#m
    As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
         D                         E
    Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
           A
    In the ghetto
          A
    As her young man dies
           C#m
    On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
            D            E
    Another little baby child is born
           A
    In the ghetto
