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