As the snow flies.
On a cold and grey Chicago morn' another liitle baby child is born
A D A D AIn 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
E A D Amouth to feed In the ghetto
E D ANow people don't you understand The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow up to be an angry young man some day
E Bm ATake 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
as the world turns
Amaj7 Bmand a hungry little child with a runny nose plays in the streets
E A D Aas the cold wind blows And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal
E A D A D Aand he learns how to fight In the ghetto
E Bm AAnd 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
A D Aand his mother cries
Amaj7 BmAs a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down in the street
with a gun in his hand
A D Aas her young man dies
Amaj7 Bm Eon a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
D AAnd his mama cries
