As the snow flies.

On a cold and grey Chicago morn'   a poor little baby child is born
       G#     Gsus
In the ghetto
G#                   Gsus
And his mother cries  (in the ghetto)
          G#                                       Bbm
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another hungry
Es                        G#     Gsus
mouth to feed      In the ghetto
                     Es                              C#       G#
So people won?t you understand   the child needs a helping hand
        C#                 Es                     G#
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
               Es                       Bbm      G#
And take a look at you and me   Are we too blind to see
   C#            G#                    Bbm             Es
Or do we simply   turn our heads   and look the other way
      G#              Gsus
While the world turns
      G#                                  Bbm
And a poor little boy with a runny nose plays in the streets
          Es                       G#     Gsus
While the cold wind blows   in the ghetto
        G#           Gsus
and his hunger burns
      G#                                          Bbm
So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal
     Es                              G#     Gsus
And he learns how to fight    in the ghetto
    Es                              Bbm                 G#
And then one night in desperation   the young man breaks away
   C#                   G#               Bbm                 Es
He finds a gun   and he steals a car and he tries to run but he doesn't get far
       G#            Gsus
And his mother cries
    G#                                                 Bbm
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man    face down in the street
      Es              	G#    Gsus
With a gun in his hand   in the ghetto
               G#
And this young man dies
      G#                         Bbm                 Es
On a cold and grey Chicago morn'   another little baby child is born
