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