In The Ghetto (ver 7) by Elvis Presley

Song: In the ghetto (The vicious circle)
Artist: Elvis Presley
Composer: Mac Davis
Tabbed by: DJ
29th July 2015

Tuning: Original record very slightly flat of concert pitch (-10)

CAPO: 3rd fret (Sounds in the key of Bb)

Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
G   = 320003   D7 = xx0212  Am    = x02210
C/G = 3x2013   C  = x32010  D4    = xx0233
Bm  = x24432   D  = xx0232  Dsus2 = xx0230
                            C/B   = x2x010

The key to this song is in the hammered -on riff shown in the intro.
This riff carries on throughout large sections of the song.
Although the 1st and 5th strings don't actually need to be sounded
I still find it easier to form the full G chord as anchorage,
and it feels stronger to me when adding the extra hammered-on notes.  
I play the G chord using the middle finger on the 5th string, the ring 
finger on the 6th string and the little finger on the 1st string.
Then hammer-on the notes on the 2nd and 4th strings using the index
and middle fingers. 

h  = hammer-on

As the snow flies----------------------,
      Bm                               C                D7
On a cold and grey Chicago morning, a poor little baby child is born...

           C             D7
It's a - nother hungry mouth to feed...
            G    G C/G  G C/G   G C/G           G    G C/G    G C/G  G

       G                D                             C     C/B  G
Now, people, don't you understand, the child needs a help - ing hand,
     C                  D7              C    G

Or do we simply ...turn our heads ...and look ...the other way?


[Verse 3]
            G          G C/G  G C/G  G C/G     G    G C/G    G C/G  G
Well, the world turns---------------------,
       Bm
And a hungry little boy, with a runny nose,
 C                          D7
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows...
            G    G C/G  G C/G  G C/G           G    G C/G   G C/G  G

And his hunger burns-------------,
        Bm
So he starts to roam the streets at night,
         C                           D7
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight...
            G    C/G G  C/G   G C/G           G     G C/G   G C/G   G
...In the ghetto------------,        (In the ghetto------!)

Then one night, in desperation, the young man breaks a - way,
    C            Bm           Am                   D7
He buys a gun, steals a car, tries to run, but he don't get far...

...And his Momma cries---------------,
      Bm
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man,
      C                         D7
Face down in the street, with a gun in his hand...
            G    G C/G  G C/G  G C/G            G    G C/G    G C/G  G

As her young man dies-------------,      (In the ghetto-----!)
      Bm
On a cold and grey Chicago morning,
     C                  D7
A -nother little baby child ...is ...born...
