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