In The Ghetto - Elvis Presley | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
A# A#sus4 A# A#sus4      A#        A#sus4
               As the snow flies

[Verse 1]
---------------------
A# A#sus4    Dm
       On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
  D#                    F
A poor little baby child is born
       A#    A#sus4
In the ghetto
A# A#sus4       A#        A#sus4
       And his mama cries
A# A#sus4         Dm
       'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
      D#            F
It's another hungry mouth to feed
       A#    A#sus4
In the ghetto
A# A#sus4                 F
       People, don't you understand

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                  D#      A#
The child needs a helping hand
   D#                     F                 A#
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
               F
Take a look at you and me,
           D#           A#
Are we too blind to see?
D#           Dm                Cm             F
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?

[Verse 2]
---------------------
          A#         A#sus4
Well, the world turns
A# A#sus4     Dm
       And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
D#                         F
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
       A#    A#sus4
In the ghetto
A# A#sus4       A#          A#sus4
       And his hunger burns
A# A#sus4     Dm
       So he starts to roam the streets at night
       D#                          F
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
       A#    A#sus4 A# A#sus4
In the ghetto

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
F
Then one night in desperation
    D#                A#
The young man breaks away
   D#
He buys a gun,
Dm
Steals a car,
Cm
Tries to run,
       F
But he don't get far

[Verse 3]
---------------------
        A#        A#sus4
And his mama cries
A# A#sus4    Dm
       As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
     D#                        F
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
       A#    A#sus4
In the ghetto
A# A#sus4          A#             A#sus4
       And as her young man dies,
A# A#sus4    Dm
       On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
 D#                 F
Another little baby child is born
       A#    A#sus4
In the ghetto
A# A#sus4       A#        A#sus4
       And his mama cries
