Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience.

Intro: ADAD ADA As the snow flies.
Amaj7BmE On a cold and grey Chicago morn' another liitle baby child is born
ADADA In the ghetto
ADA And his mother cries ( in the ghetto )
Amaj& Bm 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another little hungry
EADA mouth to feed In the ghetto
EDA Now people don't you understand The child needs a helping hand
DEA Or he'll grow up to be an angry young man some day
EBmA Take a look at you and me Are we too blind to see
DAmaj7BmE Or do we just turn our heads and look the other way
ADA as the world turns
Amaj7Bm . and a hungry little child with a runny nose plays in the streets
EADA as the cold wind blows And his hunger burns
Amaj7Bm So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal
EADADA and he learns how to fight In the ghetto
EBmA And then one night in desperation A young man breaks away
DAmaj7BmE He buys a gun steals a car tries to run but he don't get far
ADA and his mother cries
Amaj7Bm As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down in the street
E with a gun in his hand
ADA as her young man dies
Amaj7BmE on a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born
