Cry Before Dawn    Girl in the Ghetto-(Formerly Girl in theGrotto) chords
Start Jamming...
It's definitely the midlife crisis it has to be, has to be.
It's driving us crazy.
Anyway, from a new song to a very old song and this song, quite a serious
subject matter but I won't go into details really, but at the time, you know
lots of things were kept behind closed doors and swept under carpets and kept
under stairways and locked up in coal holes and places but this is a song
about, simply about a girl who ran out of options and ran out of time.
It's called
Girl in the Ghetto.

[F#]
He lights up a cigarette, he [C#] knows the [B] scent, he [F#] knows damn well.
It's [E] a never ending tragedy.
We spend our [F#] lives together, whatever.
[G#m] [E] And I'm not so blind that I can't see.
There's a [G#m] girl in the ghetto, [F#]
got no time [E] to be changing.
[F#]
And this [E] life's full of fools, [F#] when you're played [B] by the rules.
You're [E] really something, [B]
[F#] you're [E] really something.
[B] It's [F#] a secret that everyone knows.
They turn their heads and they walk away.
But [B] there's no talking, there'll soon [F#] be no pain.
And it's so cold here on the shore, finding it hard to believe in him.
[B] She'll be waiting until he [F#]
returns.
It's [E] a never ending tragedy.
We spend our [F#] lives together, whatever.
[G#] And [E] I'm not so blind that I can't see.
There's a girl in [G#m] the ghetto, [F#] got no time to [E] be changing.
[F#] And this life's full [E] of fools, when [F#] you're played by [B] the rules.
Don't avoid [E] intervention.
[F#] When her father [E] stands watching, [F#] [B] far away [E] from the [F#] [B] limelight.
When the blood [E] turns to stone, [F#] you're left [B] on your own.
You know you're [E] really something, [B] [F#] you're [E] really something.
[B] [F#] [E] As he closes the door [F#] and he walks away, [E] finding it hard to believe that [F#] he's wrong.
[E] When he wakes up in [F#] the morning, he knows [E] she's gone.
[F#] He knows [E] she's [F#] gone.

[F#] There's a girl in [G#] the ghetto, [G#m] [F#] got no time to [E] be changing.
[F#] And this life's full of [E] fools, when [F#] you're played by [B] the rules.
You're [G#m] really something, [F#] yeah, you're [E] really something.
[F#] When the blood [E] turns to stone, and [D#m] you're left [B] on your own.
You know you're [E] really something, [B] [F#] you're [E] really something.
[F#] You're [E] really something.
