There are still some versions of the song, but all of them are in the wrong key,
so this is the one to play along the CD.
Intro: A# A#
A# A#
As the snow flies
Dm
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
D# F
A poor little baby child is born
A# A#
In the ghetto
A# A#
And his mama cries
Dm
Cause if theres one thing that she don't need
D# F
It's another hungry mouth to feed
A# A#
In the ghetto
F
People, dont you understand
D# A#
The child needs a helping hand
D# F A#
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
A# F
Take a look at you and me,
D# A#
Are we too blind to see,
D# Dm
Do we simply turn our heads
D# F
And look the other way

A# A#
Well the world turns
Dm
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
D# F
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
A# A#
In the ghetto
A# A#
And his hunger burns
Dm
So he starts to roam the streets at night
D#
And he learns how to steal
F
And he learns how to fight
A# A#
In the ghetto
F
Then one night in desperation
D# A#
A young man breaks away
D# Dm
He buys a gun, steals a car,
D# F
Tries to run, but he don't get far
A# A#
And his mama cries
Dm
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
D# F
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
A# A#
In the ghetto
A# A#
As her young man dies,
Dm
On a cold and gray chicago mornin',
D# F
Another little baby child is born
A# A#
In the ghetto
A# A#
And his mama cries
Outro: A#
