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