In The Ghetto

Biography:

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.

In The Ghetto
Recorded by Elvis Presley
Written by Mac Davis

C
As the snow flies
Em
On a cold and gray Chicago morn
F G7 C
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto

And his momma cries
Em
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
F G7 C
Is another little hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto

G7 F C
People don't you understand the child needs a helping hand
F G7 C
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man someday
G7 F C
Take a look at you and me are we too blind to see
F Em Dm G7
Or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way
C
As the world turns

Em
A hungry little boy with a running nose
F G7 C
Plays in the streets as the cold wind blows in the ghetto

And his hunger burns
Em
So he starts to roam the streets at night
F G7 C
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto

G7 F C
And then one night in desperation the young man breaks away
F Em Dm
And he buys a gun and he steals a car tries to run but don't get far
C
And his momma cries
Em
As a crowd gathers round and the angry young man
F G7 C
Paces down the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto

Em
And as the young man dies on a cold and gray Chicago morn
F G7 C
Another little baby child is born in the Ghetto

And his momma cries

And his momma cries
