Chords for Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto Carlotta Truman Cover

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
As the snow _ _ _ flies
[Em] On a cold and gray Chicago morning
[F] A [G] child is born [C] in the ghetto
_ And _ _ _ his mama _ _ cries
[Em] Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
Is [F] another [G] hungry, mousetrap [C] freak in the ghetto _ _ _ _
[G] People don't you understand
[F] A child needs a [C] helping [F] hand
A hand got [G] a freedom _ [C] someday _
[G] Take a look at you and me
I [F] will _ [C] sing
[F] A new and [C] solid turn of [Dm] hands
And look [G] the other _ _ _ _ way _ _
[C] Where the world _ _ turns
[E] And the [Em] hungry little boy with the running nose
[F] Plays in the [G] street as the cold wind [C] blows in the ghetto _ _ _ _ _
And his hunger burns _ _ _
[Em] So he starts to roam the streets at [F] night
And he learns how to [G] steal
And he [C] learns how to fight in the ghetto _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] Then one night in [F] desperation
A young man [C] breaks away
[F] He buys a [C] gun, he steals a [Dm] car
He tries to run [G] but he don't get [C] far
_ And his mama cries
_ _ _ [Em] As the crowd gathers round
An angry young man [F] face down
In the [G] street, a gun and his [C] hand in the ghetto _
In the ghetto
And as the young man _ dies
On [Em] the cold and gray Chicago
A [F] mother and [G] baby child is born
[C] In the ghetto
_ _ _ _ And his mama cries
_ _ On [Em] the cold and gray Chicago
A mother [F] and baby [G] child is born
[C] In the ghetto
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] On the cold and gray Chicago
A mother [F] and baby [G] child is born
[C] In the ghetto
_ _ _ _ [Em] On the cold and gray Chicago
A mother [F] and little, little baby [G] child
Is born [C] in the ghetto
_ In the ghetto _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
