Bobby Bland In the ghetto Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now my little_ _ _ _ _ _
As the snow flies _ _ _
[Dm] On a cold and gray Chicago [Eb] morning
A poor little [F] baby child is [Bb] born in the ghetto
_ Uh-huh _
And his mama _ cries _ _
[Dm] Cause if there's one thing that she don't [Eb] need
It's another little [F] hungry mouth to [Bb] feed in the ghetto
_ Mm-mm
People don't you understand?
The [Eb] child needs a [Bb] helping hand
[Eb] He'll grow up [F] to be an angry young [Bb] man someday _
Take [F] a look at you and me
Are we [Eb] too blind [Bb] to see?
[Eb] Or do we [Dm] simply turn our [Cm] heads
And look the [F] other way?
_ _ Well_
[Bb] Well the world turns
_ _ [Dm] And the hungry little boy with the runny nose
[Eb] Plays in the street [F] as the cold wind [Bb] blows in the ghetto
_ _ Uh-huh
And his hunger _ burns
_ _ [Dm] So he starts to roam the streets at night
[Eb] He learns how to steal [F] and he learns how to fight [Bb] in the ghetto
_ Mm-mm
And [F] then one night in desperation
[Eb] The young man breaks [Bb] away
[Eb] He buys a gun [Dm] and he steals a car
[Cm] He tries to run [F] but he don't get far
_ _ _ And [Bb] his mama _ cries
And _ _ [Dm] the crowd gathers around the angry young man [Eb] face down
In the street [F] with a gun in his hand [Bb] in the ghetto _
_ Mm-mm
And as the young man _ dies
_ _ [Dm] On a cold and gray Chicago morning
[Eb] Another little baby [F] child is born
Still _ [Bb] in the ghetto _ _ _
_ _ In the ghetto _ _ _
_ _ In the ghetto _ _ _
_ In the ghetto
_ In the ghetto
_ And maybe you don't know _ _
_ I'm talking about the ghetto _ _ _
_ We are the children _ _
All of the ghetto _ _ _
And maybe you don't know what I'm talking about this evening _
_ _ Mm-mm _ _ _
_ Look at the little children in the ghetto _ _ _
_ Now, now, now _ _ _ _
_ It's all around _ _ again
Talking about the ghetto _ _ _ _
