As the Absnow flies
On a Cmcold and grey Chicago morning 
A Dbpoor little baby Ebchild is born 
In the Abghetto 
And his Abmama cries 
'Cause if Cmthere's one thing that she don't need 
It's aDbnother hungry Ebmouth to feed 
In the Abghetto 
So people won't you Ebunderstand 
The child needs a Dbhelping Abhand 
Or Dbhe'll grow to be an Ebangry young man some Abday 
Take a look at Ebyou and me 
Are we too Dbblind to Absee
DbDo we simply Cmturn our heads and Bbmlook the other Ebway 
Well the Abworld turns 
And a Cmpoor little boy with a runny nose 
DbPlays in the street where the Ebcold wind blows 
In the Abghetto 
And his Abhunger burns 
So he Cmstarts to roam the streets at night 
And he Dblearns how to steal and he Eblearns how to fight 
In the Abghetto 
EbThen one night in desperation 
A Dbyoung man breaks aAbway 
He Dbfinds a gun, and he Absteals a car
And he Dbtries to run, but he Ebdoesn't get far 
And his Abmama cries 
As a Cmcrowd gathers 'round an angry young man 
DbFace down on the street with a Ebgun in his hand 
In the Abghetto 
And as her Abyoung man dies 
On a Cmcold and grey Chicago morning 
ADbnother little baby Ebchild is born 
In the Abghetto
In the Abghetto
In the Abghetto.

Bbm

As the snow flies

On a cold and grey Chicago morning

Db Eb

A poor little baby child is born

In the ghetto

And his mama cries

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

Db Eb

It's another hungry mouth to feed

In the ghetto

So people won't you understand

Db Ab

The child needs a helping hand

Db Eb Ab

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

Take a look at you and me

Db Ab

Are we too blind to see

Db Cm Bbm Eb

Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way

Well the world turns

And a poor little boy with a runny nose

Db Eb

Plays in the street where the cold wind blows

In the ghetto

And his hunger burns

So he starts to roam the streets at night

Db Eb

And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight

In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation

Db Ab

A young man breaks away

Db Ab

He finds a gun, and he steals a car

Db Eb

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

And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

Db Eb

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

In the ghetto

And as her young man dies

On a cold and grey Chicago morning

Db Eb

Another little baby child is born

In the ghetto

In the ghetto.
