	Ab
	As the snow flies...

	Cm7
On a	cold and grey Chicago morning

	C#	Eb7	Ab
A	poor little baby	child is born in the	ghetto

	Ab
And his	mamma cries...

	Cm7
'Cos if t	here's one thing that she dont need

	C#	Eb7	Ab
It is	another hungry mo	uth to feed in the g	hetto

	Eb
People dont you u	nderstand

	C#	Ab
The child needs a h	elping h	and

	C#	Eb	Ab
Or h	e'll gonna be an a	ngry young man some d	ay

	Eb
Take a look at y	ou and me

	C#	Ab
Are we too bl	ind to s	ee

	C#	Cm	Bbm	Eb7
Or d	o we simply t	urn our heads and l	ook the other	way

Well, the world turns...

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

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

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

		Eb	C#	Ab
	Th	en one night in desperation the y	oung man breaks a	way

		C#	Cm7
	He b	uys a gun, he s	teals a car,

		Bbm	Eb7
	He t	ries to run but he	dont get far

And his mamma cries...

As a crowd gathers round an angry young man

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

And as her young man dies...

On a cold and grey Chicago morning

	C#	Eb7	Ab
An	other little baby c	hild is born in the gh	etto...
