[G] There's a snowflake on [D]
[G] a cold and gray Chicago morning
Another little baby [D] child is born in the ghetto
[G]
And his mama cries
[D]
As if there's one thing she don't need
[C] It's another hungry [D] mouth to feed in the ghetto
[G] [D]
People don't you understand
This [G] child needs a helping hand
[D] He'll grow to be an angry young man someday
Take a look at you and me
Are we too [G] blind [G] to see?
Or do we simply turn our heads [Am] and look the [E] other [D] way?
[G] It's a world [D] turn
[G]
[D] [G] A hungry little boy with a runny nose
[C] Plays in the street as [D] the cold wind blows
In a ghetto
In a [G] smoggy burn
So
[D] [G] he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal and [D] he learns how to fight
In a ghetto
[G]
[D] Then one night in desperation [G] a young man breaks away
[D] [C] He buys a gun, [G] steals a coal
[Am] [E] Tries to run but he [D] won't get far
[G] And his mama cries
[E]
[G] As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
[C] Faced down the street [D] with a gun in his hand
In a ghetto
As a young man dies
[Bm] On a cold and grey [G] Chicago morning
Another little [D] baby child is born
In a ghetto
[G]
