In The Ghetto Elvis Presley A A As the snow flies C#m On a cold and gray chicago morning D E7 A poor little baby child is born A In the ghetto (in the ghetto) And his mama cries C#m 'Cause if there's one thing That she don't need D E7 It's another hungry mouth to feed A In the ghetto (in the ghetto) E People, don't you understand D A The child needs a helping hand D E Or he'll gonna be an angry young A Man some day E Take a look at you and me D A Are we too blind to see D C#m Do we simply turn our heads and Bm E Look the other way A Well the world turns C#m And a hungry little boy With a runny nose D Plays in the street as the E7 Cold wind blows A In the ghetto (in the ghetto) And his hunger burns |
C#m So he starts to roam the Streets at night D And he learns how to steal E7 And he learns how to fight A In the ghetto (in the ghetto) E Then one night in desperation D A The young man breaks away D E He buys a gun, steals a car A E Tries to run, but he don't get far A And his mama cries C#m As a crowd gathers 'round an Angry young man D Face down on the street with E7 A gun in his hand A In the ghetto (in the ghetto) And as her young man dies C#m On a cold and gray chicago mornin' D E7 Another little baby child is born A In the ghetto (in the ghetto) And his mama cries |
