Here's the song. Hope you enjoy. Cheers :)
C* = the little tabbed part.
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago morning
A poor little baby child is born
In the Ghetto
And his mama cries
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
Its another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People don't you understand
This child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man someday
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, Steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the Ghetto
As her young man dies
On a cold and gray Chicago morning
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries. (fade out)
Cheers.
