Cranberries: In the Ghetto
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#
In the ghetto
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CRANBERRIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
