Intro 1
Cm
Verse 1
Cm
On the streets of New York City,
Fm
G
when the hour was getting late,
Cm
There were young men armed
with knives and guns,
Fm
G
young men armed with hay,
Cm
And Lumash stepped between them
Eb
Bb
Cm
and he died there in his tracks
For one man is no army
Fm
Bb
when the city turns its back
Eb
But now the streets are empty,
Fm
now the streets are dark
Bb
So keep an eye on shadows
Cm
and nev er pass the park
Eb
For the city is a jungle
Fm
when the Lord is out of sight
Bb
And death looks in El Barrio
Cm
with the orphans of the night
He left behind a chamber
Fm
of a church he served so long
G
Cm
Where he learned the prayers
of distant men
Fm
G
Will never right the wrongs
Cm
His church became an alley
Eb
Bb
Cm
And his pulpit was the street
And he made his congregation
Fm
Bb
From the boys he used to meet
Eb
But now the streets are empty
Fm
Now the streets are dark
Bb
So keep an eye on the shadows
Cm
And never pass the park
Eb
For the city is a jungle
Fm
When the law is out of sight
Bb
And death looks an albarrio
Cm
With the orphans of the night
There were two gangs approaching
Fm
In Spanish Harlem town
G
Cm
The smell of blood was in the air
Ddim
G
and the chal lenge was laid down
Cm
He felt their blinding hatred
Eb
Bb
Cm
and he tried to save their lives
And the answer that they gave him
Fm
was their fists and feet and knives
Bb
Eb
And now the streets are empty,
Fm
now the streets are dark
Bb
So keep an eye on shadows
Cm
and never pass the park
Eb
For the city is a jungle
Fm
when the lore is out of sight
Bb
And death looks in El Barrio
Cm
with the orphans of the night
Will Lumash, life forgotten,
Fm
G
in his cold and silent grave
Cm
Will his memories still linger on,
Fm
G
in those he tried to save
Cm
And all of us who knew him,
Eb
Bb
will now and then recall
Cm
And shed a tear on poverty,
Fm
Bb
the tombstone of us all
Eb
But now the streets are empty,
Fm
now the streets are dark
Bb
So keep an eye on the shadows
Cm
and nev er pass the park
Eb
For the city is a jungle
Fm
when the Lord is out of sight
Bb
And death lurks in our barrio
Cm
With the orphans of the night
