Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “In The Ghetto” dari The Cranberries:

            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.
