As the snow flies.

Cmaj7                         Dm                 G
On a cold and grey Chicago morn'   another liitle baby child is born

C             F C      F C
In the ghetto

C                          F C
And his mother cries  ( in the ghetto )

Amaj                                       Dm
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another little hungry

G                        C           F C
mouth to feed      In the ghetto

G                               F       C
Now people don't you understand   The child needs a helping hand

F                 G                     C
Or he'll grow up to be  an angry young man some day

G                       Dm      C
Take a look at you and me   Are we too blind to see

F            Cmaj7                    Dm             G
Or do we just   turn our heads   and look the other way

C              F C
as the world turns

Cmaj7                                  Dm           .
and a hungry little child with a runny nose  plays in the streets

G                          C                 F  C
as the cold wind blows    And his hunger burns

Cmaj7                                          Dm
So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal

G                              C         F C    F C
and he learns how to fight    In the ghetto

G                              Dm                 C
And then one night in desperation   A young man breaks away

F           Cmaj7           Dm                  G
He buys a gun   steals a car   tries to run  but he don't get far

C                    F C
and his mother cries

Cmaj7                                         Dm
As a crowd gathers 'round   an angry young man    face down in the street

G
with a gun in his hand

C           F C
as her young man dies

Cmaj7                         Dm                 G
on a cold and grey Chicago morn'   another little baby child is born

C           F C
In the ghetto

F C
And his mama cries
