[Bb]
As the snow fly
On [Eb]
[Bb] [Dm] a cold and gray Chicago [Gm] morning [Eb] a poor little baby [F] child is born [Bb] in the ghetto
And his mama cry
Cause [Dm] if there's one thing she don't need is [Eb] another hungry [F] mouth to [Bb] feed in the ghetto
[Eb] [F] People don't you understand
A child needs [Eb] an air [Bb] bn
[Eb] He'll grow to be [F] an angry young man [Bb] someday
Take a [F] look at you and me.
Are we too [Eb] blind [Bb] to see?
[Eb] Do we simply [Dm] turn our [Cm] heads and look the other [F] way?
[Bb] Well the world turn
And [Dm] a hungry little boy with the runny [Eb] nose plays in the street as [F] the cold wind [Bb] blows in the ghetto
And his hunger
[Eb] So [Bb] [Dm] he starts to roam the streets at night [Eb] and he learns how to steal [F] and he learns how to fight [Bb] in the ghetto
Then [F] one night in desperation [Eb] the young man [Bb] breaks away
[Eb] He buys a gun [Dm] steals a car [Cm] tries to run, but he [F] don't get far
And his [Bb] mama cry
[C] [Bb]
[Dm] As a [D] crowd gathers round an angry young [Eb] man face down in the [F] street with a gun in his [Bb] hand in the ghetto
And as her young man die
[Dm] On a cold and gray Chicago morning [Eb] another little baby [F] child is born
[Bb] in the ghetto
And his mama [Eb] cry
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb]
