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