Elvis Presley - In the ghetto with lyrics

With lyrics yes ~enjoy~


Intro: A D A D

A D A
As the snow flies. Amaj7 Bm E




On a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born A D A D A
In the ghetto

A D A
And his mother cries ( in the ghetto ) Amaj7




'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, Bm E A D A
It's another little hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto E D A
Now people don't you understand The child needs a helping hand D E A
Or he'll grow up to be an angry young man some day E Bm A
Take a look at you and me Are we too blind to see
D Amaj7 Bm E
Or do we just turn our heads and look the other way A D A
As the world turns Amaj7 Bm .
And a hungry little child with a runny nose plays in the streets E A D A
As the cold wind blows And his hunger burns Amaj7 Bm




So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal E A D A D A
And he learns how to fight In the ghetto E Bm A
And then one night in desperation A young man breaks away
D Amaj7 Bm E
He buys a gun steals a car tries to run but he don't get far A D A
And his mother cries Amaj7 Bm
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down in the street E A D A
With a gun in his hand As her young man dies Amaj7 Bm E
An a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born A D A D A
In the ghetto And his mama cries
