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