In the ghetto

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
               Es                       Bbm      G#
And take a look at you and me   Are we too blind to see

While the world turns

And a poor little boy with a runny nose plays in the streets

and his hunger burns
      G#                                          Bbm

   C#                   G#               Bbm                 Es

       G#            Gsus                                 
And his mother cries
    G#                                                 Bbm 
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man    face down in the street
      Es              	G#    Gsus                         
With a gun in his hand   in the ghetto

And this young man dies
