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