In The Ghetto

Bb


[Verse]

       Bb
As the snow flies
     Dm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
  Eb                 F            
A poor little baby child is born 
      Bb
in the ghetto
        Bb
And his mamma cries
         Dm
'Cos if there's one thing that she 
dont need
        Eb           F            
It is another hungry mouth to feed
        Bb
 in the ghetto


[Chorus]

                F
People dont you understand
                  Eb      Bb
The child needs a helping hand
   Eb                F            
Or he'll gonna be an angry young 
       Bb
man some day
Continúa después del anuncio
               F
Take a look at you and me
           Eb       Bb
Are we too blind to see
   Eb           Dm                 
Or do we simply turn our heads and 
Cm             F
look the other way


[Verse 2]

          Bb
Well, the world turn
      Dm
And a hungry little boy with a runny
 nose
Eb                         F     
Plays in the street as the cold 
                 Bb
wind blows in the ghetto
        Bb
And his hunger burns
      Dm
So he starts to roam the streets at 
night
       Eb                         
And he learns how to steal and he 
F                          Bb
learns how to fight in the ghetto


[Chorus 2]

F                                 
Then one night in desperation the 
Eb                   Bb
young man breaks the rules
   Eb             Dm
He buys a gun, he steals a car,
   Cm                  F
He tries to run but he dont get far


[Verse 3]

        Bb
And his mamma cries
     Dm
As a crowd gathers round an angry 
young man
     Eb                        F  
Face down in the street with a gun
                    Bb
 in his hand in the ghetto
Bb
And as her young man dies
     Dm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
  Eb                F             
Another little baby child is born 
       Bb
in the ghetto
        Bb
And his mamma cries
