Artist: The Cranberries
Song: In The Ghetto
Album: Wake Up And Smell The Coffee (2001)
Tabbed by: Kaja (puella_interrupta@hotmail.com)
       Ab
As the snow flies
     Cm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning 
  Db               Eb
A poor little baby child is born 
       Ab
In the ghetto 
        Ab
And his mama cries 
          Cm
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need 
      Db            Eb
It's another hungry mouth to feed 
       Ab
In the ghetto 
                    Eb
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 
               Eb
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 
         Ab
Well the world turns 
      Cm
And a poor little boy with a runny nose 
Db                            Eb
Plays in the street where the cold wind blows 
       Ab
In the ghetto 
        Ab
And his hunger burns 
      Cm
So he starts to roam the streets at night 
       Db                         Eb
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight 
       Ab
In the ghetto 
Eb
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 
        Ab
And his mama cries 
     Cm
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man 
Db                             Eb
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand 
       Ab
In the ghetto 
           Ab
And as her young man dies 
     Cm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning 
 Db                 Eb
Another little baby child is born 
       Ab
In the ghetto
       Ab
In the ghetto
       Ab
In the ghetto.
