;;In the Ghetto - Elvis Presley - 40 bpm

 [G - ][G* - ][G - ][G*]
As the [G]snow flies [G* - ][G - ][G*]
On a [Bm7]cold and gray Chi[]cago mornin' a [C]poor little baby [D]child is born
In the [G]ghetto [G* - ][G - ][G*] ... And his 
 [G]mama cries [G* - ][G - ][G*]
Cause if [Bm7]there's one thing that []she don't need it's a[C]nother hungry [D]mouth to feed
 [G]In the ghetto [G* - ][G - ][G*]

People, don't you [D]understand the []child needs a [C]helping [G]hand
Or [C]he'll grow to be an [D]angry young man some [G]day[]
Take a look at [D]you and me, []Are we too [C]blind to [G]see,
 [C]Do we simply [Bm7]turn our heads and [C]look the other [D]way
Well the [G]world turns[G* - ][G - ][G*]

And a [Bm7]hungry little boy with a []runny nose [C]plays in the street as the [D]cold wind blows
In the [G]ghetto [G* - ][G - ][G*]
And his [G]hunger burns [G* - ][G - ][G*]
So he [Bm7]starts to roam the []streets at night and he [C]learns how to steal and he [D]learns how to fight
 [G]In the ghetto [G* - ][G - ][G*]

 [D]Then one night in []desperation a [C]young man breaks a[G]way
 [C]He buys a gun, [Bm7]steals a car, [C]tries to run, but he [D]don't get far
 [G]And his mama cries[G* - ][G - ][G*]

As a [Bm7]crowd gathers 'round an []angry young man face [C]down on the street with a [D]gun in his hand
In the [G]ghetto [G* - ][G - ][G*]
And her [G]young man dies [G* - ][G - ][G*]
On a [Bm7]cold and gray Chi[]cago mornin' a [C]nother little baby [D]child is born
In the [G]ghetto [G* - ][G - ][G*]
And his [G]mama cries [G* - ][G - ][`G*]
