Chords
[Intro]
A Asus4 A Asus4 As the Asnow flies Asus4
[Verse 1]
A Asus4 On a C#mcold and gray Chicago mornin'
A Dpoor little baby childE is born
In the Aghetto Asus4
A Asus4 And his Amama cries Asus4
A Asus4 'Cause if C#mthere's one thing that she don't need
It's aDnother hungry Emouth to feed
In the Aghetto Asus4
A Asus4 People, don't you Eunderstand
[Chorus]
The child needs a Dhelping Ahand
Or Dhe'll grow to be an angEry young man some Aday
Take a look at Eyou and me,
Are we too Dblind to see? A
DDo we simply C#mturn our heads and Bmlook the other Eway?
[Verse 2]
Well, the Aworld turns Asus4
A Asus4 And a C#mhungry little boy with a runny nose
DPlays in the street as the Ecold wind blows
In the Aghetto Asus4
A Asus4 And his Ahunger burns Asus4
A Asus4 So he C#mstarts to roam the streets at night
And he Dlearns how to steal, and he Elearns how to fight
In the Aghetto Asus4 A Asus4
[Chorus]
EThen one night in desperation
The Dyoung man breaks aAway
He Dbuys a gun,
C#mSteals a car,
BmTries to run,
But he Edon't get far
[Verse 3]
And his Amama cries Asus4
A Asus4 As a C#mcrowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face Ddown on the street with a Egun in his hand
In the Aghetto Asus4
A Asus4 And as her Ayoung man dies, Asus4
A Asus4 On a C#mcold and gray Chicago mornin',
ADnother little baby Echild is born
In the Aghetto Asus4
A Asus4 And his Amama cries Asus4
[Outro]
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4
A Asus4
