The Cranberries

Intro: G# Gsus G# Gsus 
G# Gsus 
As the snow flies. 
G# Bbm Es 
On a cold and grey Chicago morn' a poor little baby child is born 
G# Gsus 
In the ghetto 
G# Gsus 
And his mother cries (in the ghetto) 
G# Bbm 
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another hungry 
Es G# Gsus 
mouth to feed In the ghetto 
Es C# G# 
So people won’t you understand the child needs a helping hand 
C# Es G# 
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 
C# G# Bbm Es 
Or do we simply turn our heads and look the other way 
G# Gsus 
While the world turns 
G# Bbm 
And a poor little boy with a runny nose plays in the streets 
Es G# Gsus 
While the cold wind blows in the ghetto 
G# Gsus 
and his hunger burns 
G# Bbm 
So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal 
Es G# Gsus 
And he learns how to fight in the ghetto 
Es Bbm G# 
And then one night in desperation the young man breaks away 
C# G# Bbm Es 
He finds a gun and he steals a car and he tries to run but he doesn't get far 
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 
G# 
And this young man dies 
G# Bbm Es 
On a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born 
G# 
In the ghetto 
G# 
In the ghetto 
G#
