C* = the little tabbed part.
C*
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago morning
A poor little baby child is born
C*
In the Ghetto
C*
And his mama cries
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
Its another hungry mouth to feed
C*
In the ghetto
People don't you understand
This child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man someday
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
C*
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
C*
In the ghetto
C*
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
C*
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, Steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far
C*
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
face down on the street with a gun in his hand
C*
In the Ghetto
C*
As her young man dies
On a cold and gray Chicago morning
Another little baby child is born
C*
In the ghetto
C*
And his mama cries. (fade out)
Cheers.
