In The Ghetto

**Chords:**
Am  F  C  G

Am                     F
As the snow flies
C                     G
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Am                     F
A poor little baby child is born
C                    G
In the ghetto

Am                     F
And his mama cries
C                           G
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
Am                     F
It's another hungry mouth to feed
C                    G
In the ghetto

Am                    F
People, don't you understand?
C                      G
The child needs a helping hand
Am                         F
Or he'll grow to be an angry old man someday
C                    G
Take a look at you and me
Am                       F
Are we too blind to see?
C                          G
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way? 

Am                   F
Well the world turns
C                   G
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Am                     F
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
C                    G
In the ghetto

Am                  F
And his hunger burns
C                             G
So he starts to roam the streets at night
Am                          F
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight
C                    G
In the ghetto
