Into the night, we went to play
You and i
I really hope you'll always be, so in love with me
I really hope we'll always stay, so attached this way
I really hope you'll always be, so in love with me
I really hope we'll always stay, so attached this way

15. In th Ghetto
Ab
As the snow flies
Cm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
Db Eb Ab
A poor little baby child is born in the Ghetto.
Ab
And his mama cries,
Cm
Cause if there's one thing she doesn't need
Db Eb Ab
It's another hungry mouth to feed in the Ghetto.
Eb Db Ab
People, don't you understand, the child needs a helping hand.
Db Eb Ab
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man someday.
Eb Db7 Ab
Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see,
Db Cm Bbm Eb
Or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
Well, the world turns,
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street, as the cold wind blows in the Ghetto.
And his hunger burns.
And he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the Ghetto.
Eb Db Ab
And then one night in desperation a young man breaks away.
Db Cm Bbm Eb
He buys a gun, steals a car, tries to run but he don't get far,
Ab
And his mama cries,
Cm
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man,
Db Eb Ab
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand, in the Ghetto.
Ab
And as her young man dies
Cm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
Db Eb Ab
Another little baby child is born in the Ghetto
