| Gm7 | | On a | cold and grey Chicago morning |
|
| Ab | Bb7 | Eb | | A | poor little baby | child is born in the | ghetto |
|
| Eb | | And his | mamma cries... |
|
| Gm7 | | 'Cos if t | here's one thing that she dont need |
|
| Ab | Bb7 | Eb | | It is | another hungry mo | uth to feed in the g | hetto |

|
| Ab | Gm | Fm | Bb7 | | Or d | o we simply t | urn our heads and l | ook the other | way |
|
|
|
|
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose |
|
|
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto |
|
|
|
So he starts to roam the streets at night |
|
|
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto |
|
|
| | | Bb | Ab | Eb | | | Th | en one night in desperation the y | oung man breaks a | way |
|
| | | Ab | Gm7 | | | He b | uys a gun, he s | teals a car, |
|
| | | Fm | Bb7 | | | He t | ries to run but he | dont get far |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
| Ab | Bb7 | Eb | | An | other little baby c | hild is born in the gh | etto... |
