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