Lyrics of a song Phil Ochs - Lou Marsh

AM                     C                       EM                 G

On the streets of New York city when the hour was getting late

(same chords)

Young men armed with knives and guns, young men armed with hate

AM                    C                              D               G 

And Lou Marsh stepped between them and died there in his tracks

(same chords)

For one man is no army when the city turns its back



        AM              C                   G                D

	Now the streets are empty, now the streets are dark

        Em                       G              Am                    A

	So keep an eye on shadows and never pass the park

	For the city is a jungle when the law is out of sight

	Death lurks in El Barrio with the orphans of the night



He left behind a chamber of a church he served so long

For he learned the prayers of distant men will never right the wrongs

His church became an alley and his pulpit was the street

He made his congregation from the boys he used to meet



There were two gangs approaching in spanish Harlem town

The smell of blood was in the air, the challenge was laid down

He felt their blinding hatred, and he tried to save their lives

And the answer that they gave him was their fists and feet and knives



Will Lou Marsh lie forgotten in his cold and silent grave?

Will his memory still linger on, in those he tried to save?

All of us who knew him will now and then recall

And shed a tear on poverty, tombstone of us all
