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