IN THE GHETTO
ELVIS PRESLEY
C Em
1. As the snow flies, on a cold and grey Chicago morning
F G C
A poor little baby child is born, in the ghetto
C Em
And his mama cries, 'cause if there's one thing that she doesn't need
F G C
It's another hungry mouth to feed, in the ghetto
G F C
2. People don't you understand, the child needs a helping hand
F G C
Or he'll gonna be an angry young man someday
G F C
Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see
F Em Dm G
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way
C Em
3. Well the world turns and a hungry little boy with a running nose
F G C
Plays in the street and a cold wind blows, in the ghetto
C Em
And his hunger burnes, so he starts stire on the streets at nights
F G C
And he learns how to steel and he learns how to fight, in the ghetto
G F C
4. Then one night in desperation the young man breaks away
F Em Dm G
He buys a gun he steels a car, he tries to run but he doesn't get far
C Em
5. And his mama cries, as a crowed gather round an angry young man
F G C
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand, in the ghetto
C Em
And as her young man dies, on a cold and grey Chicago morning
F G C
Another little baby child is born, in the ghetto
G F C
6. People don't you understand, the child needs a helping hand
F G C
Or he'll gonna be an angry young man someday,
G F C
Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see
F Em
Do we simply turn our heads
Dm G
And look the other way
