In the Ghetto

A
As the snow flies. On a [C#m] cold and gray chicago mornin
A [D] poor little baby [E]child is born In the [A] ghetto.

[A]And his mama cries - cause if [C#m]there’s one thing that she don’t need
It’s [D] another hungry [E]mouth to feed. In the [A]ghetto.

People, don’t you [E] understand. The child needs a [D]helping [A]hand.
Or [D]hell grow to be an [E]angry young man some [A]day. Take a look at [E]you and me,
Are we too [D]blind to [A]see,
[D]Do we simply [C#m] turn our heads and [D]look the other [E]way.

Well the [A]world turns. And a [C#m]hungry little boy with a runny nose
[D]Plays in the street as the [E]cold wind blows. In the [A]ghetto.

And his [A]hunger burns

So he [C#m]starts to roam the streets at night
And he [D]learns how to steal, and he [E]learns how to fight
In the [A]ghetto

[E]Then one night in desperation a [D]young man breaks [A]away
He [D]buys a gun, [C#m] steals a car,[D]Tries to run, but he [E]don’t get far[E6-5]
A[A]And his mama cries

[C#m]And as a crowd gathers round an angry young man
[D]Face down on the street with a [E]gun in his hand. In the [A]ghetto

[A]And as her young man dies. On a [C#m]cold and gray chicago mornin,
[D]Another little baby [E]child is born. In the [A]ghetto.

Winter Wonderland

             C
Sleigh bells ring are you listening
       G
In the lane snow is glistening
G7        Dm            G      G7
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight
Am           G            C
Walking in a Winter Wonderland

     C
Gone away is the blue bird
       G
In his place is the new bird
    G7          Dm         G   G7
Hes singing our song as we go along
Am           G            C
Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Chorus:
E            A              E
In the meadow we can build a snowman
E                A            E
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say Are you married We'll say No man

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid the plans that we made
Am           G            C
Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Hallelujah

(G)Now I've heard there was a (e)secret chord, that (G)David played, and it (e)pleased the Lord.
But(C) you don‘t really (D)care for music, do (G)you? (D)
It (G)goes like this, the (C)fourth, the (D)fifth the (e)minor falls, the (C)major lifts, the (D)baffled king com(B7)posing: Halle(e)lujah

Halle(C)lujah, Halle(G)lujah, Halle(C)lujah, Halle(G)lu(D)(G)jah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof. You saw her bathing on the roof,
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, and she cut your hair, and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before, I know this room, I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch, love is not a victory march, it‘s a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Well maybe there's a God above, but all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night, it's not somebody who has seen the Light, it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

You say I took the Name in vain. I dont even know the Name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word. It doesn‘t matter which you heard, the holy or the broken Hallelujah

I did my best, but it wasn‘t much, I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didnt come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong, I'll stand before the Lord of song, with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Spurven sidder stum bag kvist

(C)Spurven (G)sidder (C)stum bag (F)kvist; (G)såmænd, om ej det (C)fyger
(C)Kålgårds(G)pilen (C)piber (F)trist for (G)nordenblæstens (C)byger
(C)Lul-lul! rokken går (F)støt i moders (C)stue,
(F)og jo mere (C)vinden slår, des (d)mer får (G)arnen (C)lue.

Far har røgtet kvæget ind med halmen tættet karmen,
gnedet grisens blanke skind at den må holde varmen
Lul-lul! rokken går Far mod stuen stiler,
mor en bugt på tråden slår ser op på far og smiler.

Mor kan næppe se sit spind og næppe tråden mage;
hej, da bæres lyset ind og stilles i sin stage.
Lul-lul! rokken går tenens rappe vinge
over fyrrebjælken sår en skok af skyggeringe.

Far ta´r ned så tung en bog med Gud han hvisker sammen,
famler lidt ved spændets krog og lukker med et : Amen!
Lul-lul! rokken går ensomheden synger,
mulmet tæt om taget står og sneen går i dynger.
(C)/////// (G)///////(C)///////(G)/// (C)(G)(C)/

Her ved moders gamle rok hun lærte mig at stave.
synge om "den hvide flok" og "al hans nådegave"
Lul-lul! rokken står! Med dens nyn og sange
vemodsfuldt mod hjertet går, når kvældene bli´r lange.
