6 On a [Bm]cold and grey Chicago mornin
7 A [C]poor little baby [D]child is born
10 Cause if [Bm]there's one thing that she don't need
11 It's [C]another hungry [D]mouth to feed
15 People, don't you [D]understand
16 The child needs a [C]helping [G]hand
17 Or [C]he'll grow to be an [D]angry young man some [G]day
18 Take a look at [D]you and me
19 Are we [C]too blind to [G]see
20 [C]Do we simply [Bm]turn our heads
21 And [Am]look the other [D]way [G]
25 And a hungry little boy with a runny hose
26 Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
30 So he starts to roam the streets at night
31 And he learns how to steal
32 And he learns how to fight
36 Then one night in desperation
37 A young man beaks away
38 He buys a gun, steals a car
39 Tries to run, but he don't get far
43 As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
44 Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
48 On a cold and gray Chicago mornin
49 Another little baby child is born
