As the snow flies
On a cold [F] and grey Chicago [Eb] morning
A poor little baby child [Dm] is [Bb] born in the ghetto
And his mama cries
Cause if there's one [F] thing that she don't [Eb] need
It's another [F] hungry mouth to [Bb] feed in the ghetto
[F] People don't you understand
The child needs a helping [Bb] hand
[Eb] For he'll grow to be [F] an angry [Bb] young man someday
Take [F] a look at you and me
Are we [Eb] too blind [Bb] to see?
[Eb] Do we [Bb] simply turn our heads [Eb] and look the other [F] way?
[Bb] Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a [F] runny [Eb] nose
Plays in the [F] streets as the cold wind [Bb] blows in the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam [F] the streets at [Eb] night
And he learns how to steal
And he [F] learns how to [Bb] fight in the ghetto
[F] Then one night in desperation
A [G] young man [Bb] breaks away
[Eb] He buys a gun, [Bb] steals a [Eb] car
Tries to [F] run but he don't get far
[Bb] And his mama cries
As the crowd [F] gathers round an angry young man
[Eb] Facedown in the street [F] with a gun in his hand [Bb] in the ghetto
And as the young man dies
On a cold and [F] grey Chicago [Eb] morning
Another little baby child is born [F] [Bb] in the ghetto
And his mama cries
