The Cranberries - In The Ghetto: chords

        G#
As the snow flies
      Cm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
   C#               D#
A poor little baby child is born
        G#
In the ghetto

And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

                    D#
So people won't you understand
                  C#      G#
The child needs a helping hand
   C#                  D#                   G#
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
               D#
Take a look at you and me
            C#       G#
Are we too blind to see
C#           G#/C                A#m            D#
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way

Well the world turns
And a poor little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street where the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

 D#
Then one night in desperation
   C#                G#
A young man breaks away
    C#                  G#
He finds a gun, and he steals a car
        C#                   D#
And he tries to run, but he doesn't get far

         G#
And his mama cries
      Cm
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
C#                             D#
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
        G#
In the ghetto

            G#
And as her young man dies
      Cm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
  C#                 D#
Another little baby child is born
        G#
In the ghetto
        G#
In the ghetto
        G#
In the ghetto.
