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