A A             Asus4 Asus4  A A  Asus4 Asus4
As the snow flies
C#m C#m
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
D D E E
A A poor little baby child is born
A A Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus4 Asus4
In the ghetto
A A Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus Asus
And his mama cries
C#m C#m
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
D D E E
It's an-other hungry mouth to feed
A A Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus4 Asus4
In the ghetto
E E
People, don't you understand
D D A A
The child needs a heeee-lping hand
D D E E A A
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
E E
Take a look at you and me,
D D A A
Are we too bliiiiind to see,
D D C#m C#m
Do we simply turn our heads
Bm Bm E E
And look the other way
A A Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus4 Asus4
Well the world turns
C#m C#m
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
D D E E
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
A A Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus4 Asus4
In the ghetto
A A Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus4 Asus4
And his hunger burns
C#m C#m
So he starts to roam the streets at night
D D
And he learns how to steal
E E
And he learns how to fight
A A Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus4 Asus4
In the ghetto
C#m C#m
Then one night in desperation
D D A A
A A young man breaks away
D D A A
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Bm Bm E E
Tries to run, but he don't get far
A A Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus4 Asus4
And his mama cries
C#m C#m
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
D D E E
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
A A Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus4 Asus4
In the ghetto
A A Asus4 Asus4 A A Asus4 Asus4
As her young man dies,
C#m C#m
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
D D E E
An-other little baby child is born
A A Asus4 Asus4, A A, Asus4 Asus4
In the ghetto
