Verse 1
Bm
C#
when the hour was getting late,
with knives and guns,
Bm
C#
young men armed with hay,
A
E
F#m
and he died there in his tracks
For one man is no army
Bm
E
when the city turns its back
He left behind a chamber
C#
F#m
Where he learned the prayers
of distant men
Bm
C#
Will never right the wrongs
A
E
F#m
And his pulpit was the street
And he made his congregation
Bm
E
From the boys he used to meet
There were two gangs approaching
C#
F#m
The smell of blood was in the air
G#dim
C#
and the chal lenge was laid down
A
E
F#m
and he tried to save their lives
And the answer that they gave him
E
A
And now the streets are empty,
Will Lumash, life forgotten,
Bm
C#
in his cold and silent grave
Bm
C#
in those he tried to save
A
E
will now and then recall
Bm
E
the tombstone of us all
