Ghetto

(words & music by scott davis)

tabs by musicmeep (this is my first tab!)

A D A D

As the snow flies

E

On a cold and gray chicago mornin'

D E

A poor little baby child is born

A D A D

In the ghetto

A D A D

And his mama cries

E

'cause if there's one thing that she don't need

D E

It's an-other hungry mouth to feed

A D A

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 A

Do we simply turn our heads

E

And look the other way

A D A D

Well the world turns

E

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

D E

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

A D A D

In the ghetto

A D A D

And his hunger burns

E

So he starts to roam the streets at night

D

And he learns how to steal

E

And he learns how to fight

A D A

In the ghetto

E

Then one night in desperation

D A

A young man breaks away

D A

He buys a gun, steals a car,

E

Tries to run, but he don't get far

A D A D

And his mama cries

E

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

D E

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand

A D A D

In the ghetto

A D A D

As her young man dies,

E

On a cold and gray chicago mornin',

D E

An-other little baby child is born

A D A D

In the ghetto
