In The Ghetto - Elvis Presley


2   2   -11   1
As the snow flies
1  1  2   3    3    3  3-3  3   3  
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
3  3   -2  -2 -22  -1     1-1
A poor little baby child is born
1   1    1  2
In the ghetto
2    2  -1   1  1
And his mama cries
   1    1  2   3    3   3    3   -3    3    3  
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
3     3   -2  -2 -2   2  -1   -1
it's another hungry mouth to feed
1   1    1 2
In the ghetto
1   -1    2     3  3   3
People, don't you understand
3    -3  -3     3  -3 3    2
the child needs a helping hand
1  -1     2   3  3   3  3-3   3    3    3     3
or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
1    -1 2  -2   3   3   3
Take a look at you and me,
3   3  -3 3 -3    3  2
are we too blind to see,
1  -1  2 -2   3    3    3
do we simply turn our heads
3    -3   3   -3 3  2
and look the other way
2     2  -1 1   1
Well the world turns
1   1  2   3  3   3   3  3  -3  3  3   3
and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
  3   3  -2   -2   -2   2  -1    1   -1
plays in the street as the cold wind blows
1   1   1  2
In the ghetto
