As the snow flies.
Amaj7 Bm E
On a cold and grey Chicago morn' another liitle baby child is born
In the ghetto
A D AAnd his mother cries ( in the ghetto )
Amaj& Bm
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another little hungry
mouth to feed In the ghetto
E D ANow people don't you understand The child needs a helping hand
D E AOr he'll grow up to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me Are we too blind to see
D Amaj7 Bm EOr do we just turn our heads and look the other way
A D Aas the world turns
and a hungry little child with a runny nose plays in the streets
E A D Aas the cold wind blows And his hunger burns
Amaj7 BmSo he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight In the ghetto
E Bm AAnd then one night in desperation A young man breaks away
D Amaj7 Bm EHe buys a gun steals a car tries to run but he don't get far
and his mother cries
Amaj7 BmAs a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down in the street
Ewith a gun in his hand
as her young man dies
Amaj7 Bm Eon a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born
A D AIn the ghetto
And his mama cries
