In The Ghetto Tabulatur von Elvis Presley

A             Asus4  A  Asus4
As the snow flies
     C#m               
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
  D                E
A poor little baby child is born
       A       Asus4  A  Asus4
In the ghetto
       A        Asus4  A  Asus
And his mama cries
          C#m            
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
        D            E
It's an-other hungry mouth to feed
       A     Asus4  A  Asus4
In the ghetto
                  E                   
People, don't you understand
                  D           A
The child needs a heeee-lping hand
   D                   E                    A
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
               E
Take a look at you and me,
           D            A
Are we too bliiiiind to see,
D            C#m
Do we simply turn our heads
    Bm               E
And look the other way
            A       Asus4  A  Asus4
Well the world turns
      C#m
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
D                          E
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
A            Asus4  A  Asus4
In the ghetto
        A            Asus4  A  Asus4
And his hunger burns
      C#m                  
So he starts to roam the streets at night
       D
And he learns how to steal
       E
And he learns how to fight
       A    Asus4  A  Asus4
In the ghetto
C#m
Then one night in desperation
  D         A
A young man breaks away
   D           A
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Bm                      E             
Tries to run, but he don't get far
        A         Asus4  A  Asus4
And his mama cries
     C#m                      
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
     D                         E
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
       A     Asus4  A  Asus4
In the ghetto
       A              Asus4  A  Asus4
As her young man dies,
    C#m 
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
   D                 E
An-other little baby child is born
       A     Asus4, A, Asus4
In the ghetto
