In The Ghetto Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 As the G♯snow flies

 On a Cmcold and grey Chicago morning

 A C♯poor little baby D♯child is born

 In the G♯ghetto

 And his G♯mama cries

 'Cause if Cmthere's one thing that she don't need

 It's aC♯nother hungry D♯mouth to feed

 In the G♯ghetto

 So people won't you D♯understand

 The child needs a C♯helping G♯hand

 Or C♯he'll grow to be an D♯angry young man some G♯day

 Take a look at D♯you and me

 Are we too C♯blind to G♯see

C♯Do we simply Cmturn our heads and A♯mlook the other D♯way

 Well the G♯world turns

 And a Cmpoor little boy with a runny nose

C♯Plays in the street where the D♯cold wind blows

 In the G♯ghetto

 And his G♯hunger burns

 So he Cmstarts to roam the streets at night

 And he C♯learns how to steal and he D♯learns how to fight

 In the G♯ghetto

D♯Then one night in desperation

 A C♯young man breaks aG♯way

 He C♯finds a gun, and he G♯steals a car

 And he C♯tries to run, but he D♯doesn't get far

 And his G♯mama cries

 As a Cmcrowd gathers 'round an angry young man

C♯Face down on the street with a D♯gun in his hand

 In the G♯ghetto

 And as her G♯young man dies

 On a Cmcold and grey Chicago morning

 AC♯nother little baby D♯child is born

 In the G♯ghetto

 In the G♯ghetto

 In the G♯ghetto.
