               E                   
Take a look at you and me   Are we 
    Bm      A
too blind to see

   D            Amaj7             
Or do we just   turn our heads   
       Bm             E
and look the other way

      A              D A
as the world turns

      Amaj7                     
and a hungry little child with a

runny nose  plays in the streets

      E                          A
as the cold wind blows    And his 
                 D  A
hunger burns

      Amaj7                        
So he starts to roam the streets at
                  Bm
 night and he learns how to steal

       E                           
and he learns how to fight    In 
   A         D A    D A
the ghetto

    E                              
And then one night in desperation  
Bm                 A
 A young man breaks away

   D           Amaj7           Bm
He buys a gun   steals a car   
                  E
tries to run  but he don't get far

       A                    D A
and his mother cries

    Amaj7                          
As a crowd gathers 'round   an 
               Bm
angry young man    face down in the 
street

      E
with a gun in his hand

               A           D A
as her young man dies

      Amaj7                        
on a cold and grey Chicago morn'

And his mama cries
