G#
As the snow flies
Cm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
C# D#
A poor little baby child is born
G#
In the ghetto
G#
And his mama cries
Cm
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
C# D#
It's another hungry mouth to feed
G#
In the ghetto
D#
So people won't you understand
C# G#
The child needs a helping hand
C# D# G#
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
D#
Take a look at you and me
C# G#
Are we too blind to see
C# Cm A#m D#
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way
G#
Well the world turns
Cm
And a poor little boy with a runny nose
C# D#
Plays in the street where the cold wind blows
G#
In the ghetto
G#
And his hunger burns
Cm
So he starts to roam the streets at night
C# D#
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight
G#
In the ghetto
D#
Then one night in desperation
C# G#
A young man breaks away
C# G#
He finds a gun, and he steals a car
C# D#
And he tries to run, but he doesn't get far
G#
And his mama cries
Cm
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
C# D#
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
G#
In the ghetto
G#
And as her young man dies
Cm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning
C# D#
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.
