Although the 1st and 5th strings don't\r\nactually need to be sounded, you may find it easier\r\nto form the full G chord as anchorage,\r\nthen add the extra hammered-on notes.\r\nPlay the G chord using the middle finger on the\r\n5th string, the ring finger on the 6th string\r\nand the little finger on the 1st string.\r\nThen hammer-on the notes on the 2nd and 4th strings\r\nusing the index and middle fingers.\r\n\r\nCAPO: 3rd fret\r\n(Will then sound in the recorded approx. key of Bb)\r\n\r\nChord names & fret positions are relative to the capo\r\nG   = 32000x or 320003  C   = x32010  Am    = x02210\r\nC/G = 3x201x or 3x2013  D7  = xx0212  D     = xx0232\r\nBm  = x24432            C/B = x2x010  Dsus4 = xx0233\r\n                                      Dsus2 = xx0230\r\nN.C. = No chords   h = hammer-on note\r\n\r\n[tab]Please take a second to swipe down to the bottom of\r\nthe page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks\r\n=====================================================\r\n[Intro]\r\n   [ch]G[/ch]    [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]   [ch]G[/ch]     [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\ne|------------------------|----------------------|\r\nB|---0--0-h1--0-h1--0-h1--|----0--0-h1--0-h1--0--|\r\nG|--0---------------------|---0------------------|\r\nD|------0-h2--0-h2--0-h1--|-------0-h2--0-h2--0--|\r\nA|------------------------|----------------------|\r\nE|-3----3-----------------|-3-----3--------------|[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 1]\r\n[tab]       [ch]G[/ch]         [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] \r\nAs the snow flies-----------------,[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nOn a cold and grey Chicago morning,[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]C[/ch]                [ch]D7[/ch]\r\nA poor little baby child is born...[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]G[/ch]     [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]\r\nIn the ghetto------------,[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]G[/ch]      [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]     [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch]\r\n(In the ghetto-------!)[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]G[/ch]         [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch] \r\nAnd his momma cries----------------,[/tab]\r\n[tab]          [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\n'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need,[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]C[/ch]             [ch]D7[/ch]\r\nIt's a - nother hungry mouth to feed...[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]G[/ch]     [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]   [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]\r\nIn the ghetto------------,[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]G[/ch]       [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]      [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C/G[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch]\r\n(In the ghetto-------!)[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]                 [ch]D[/ch]\r\nNow, people, don't you understand,[/tab]\r\n[tab]                  [ch]C[/ch]      [ch]C/B[/ch]  [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThe child needs a help - ing  hand,[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]C[/ch]                   [ch]D7[/ch]              [ch]C[/ch]    [ch]G[/ch]\r\nOr he'll grow to be an angry young man some day?[/tab]\r\n[tab]                   [ch]D[/ch]           [ch]Dsus4[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nA - take a look at you and me![/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]Dsus2[/ch]  [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAre we too blind to see,[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]C[/ch]            [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nOr do we simply turn our heads,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]Am[/ch]             [ch]D7[/ch]\r\nAnd look the other way?[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 3]\r\n[tab]N.C.
