DJ Ötzi - In the Ghetto
[Intro]
Bb
[Verse]
As the Bbsnow flies
On a Dmcold and grey Chicago morning
A Ebpoor little baby chFild is born in the Bbghetto
And his BbMama cries
Cos if tDmhere's one thing that she dont need
It is anEbother hungry Fmouth to feed in the Bbghetto
[Chorus]
People dont you Funderstand
The child needs a Ebhelping Bbhand
Or Ebhe'll gonna be an Fangry young man some Bbday
Take a look at Fyou and me
Are we too Ebblind to Bbsee
Or Ebdo we simply Dmturn our heads and Cmlook the other Fway
[Verse 2]
Well the Bbworld turn
And a Dmhungry little boy with a runny nose
EbPlays in the street as the Fcold wind blows in the Bbghetto
And his Bbhunger burns
So he Dmstarts to roam the streets at night
And he Eblearns how to steal and he Flearns how to fight in the Bbghetto
[Chorus 2]
FThen one night in desperation the Ebyoung man breaks the Bbrules
He Ebbuys a gun he Dmsteals a car
He Cmtries to run but he Fdont get far
[Verse 3]
And his BbMama cries
As a Dmcrowd gathers round an angry young man
Face Ebdown in the street with a Fgun in his hand in the Bbghetto
And as a Bbyoung man dies
On a Dmcold and grey Chicago morning
AnEbother little baby Fchild is born in the Bbghetto
And his BbMama cries

DJ Ötzi - In the Ghetto

[Intro]

[Verse]

As the snow flies

On a cold and grey Chicago morning

Eb F Bb

A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto

And his Mama cries

Cos if there's one thing that she dont need

Eb F Bb

It is another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto

[Chorus]

People dont you understand

Eb Bb

The child needs a helping hand

Eb F Bb

Or he'll gonna be an angry young man some day

Take a look at you and me

Eb Bb

Are we too blind to see

Eb Dm Cm F

Or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way

[Verse 2]

Well the world turn

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

Eb F Bb

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto

And his hunger burns

So he starts to roam the streets at night

Eb F Bb

And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto

[Chorus 2]

F Eb Bb

Then one night in desperation the young man breaks the rules

Eb Dm

He buys a gun he steals a car

Cm F

He tries to run but he dont get far

[Verse 3]

And his Mama cries

As a crowd gathers round an angry young man

Eb F Bb

Face down in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto

And as a young man dies

On a cold and grey Chicago morning

Eb F Bb

Another little baby child is born in the ghetto

And his Mama cries
