CHORDSUPIn The Ghetto - Elvis Presley chords
Key:
A
Singer/Band:
Elvis Presley
CAPO 1
[Verse1]
As the [A][A]snow flies
On a [C#m]cold and grey Chicago mornin'
A [D]poor little baby [E]child is born
In the [A][A]ghetto
[Verse2]
And [A]his [A]mama cries
'cause if [C#m]there's one thing that she don't need
It's [D]another hungry [E]mouth to feed
In the [A][A]ghetto
[Chorus]
People don't you [E]understand
The child needs a [D]helping [A]hand
Or [D]he'll grow to be an [E]angry young man some [A]day
Take a look at [E]you and me,
Are we too [D]blind to [A]see..
[D]Do we simply [C#m]turn
our heads and [Bm]look the other [E]way
Well [A]the [A]world turns
And [C#m]a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[D]Plays in the street as the [E]cold wind blows
In the [A][A]ghetto
[Verse3]
And [A]his [A]hunger burns
so he [C#m]starts to roam the streets at night
And he [D]learns how to steal,
and he [E]learns how to fight
In the [A][A]ghetto
[Chorus]
[E]Then one night in desperation
[D]A young man breaks [A]away
[D]He buys a gun, [C#m]steals a car,
[Bm]Tries to run, but he [E]don't get far
And his [A][A]mama cries
As a [C#m]crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face [D]down on the street with a [E]gun in his hand
In the [A][A]ghetto
[Outro]
As her [A][A]young man dies,
On a [C#m]cold and grey Chicago mornin'
[D]Another little baby [E]child is born
In the [A][A]ghetto
And his [A][A]mama cries...
