    Verse 1
    On 
    the streets 
    of 
    New York 

    city 
    when 
    the hour 
    was 
    getting 

    There 
    were 
    young 
    men armed 
    with 
    knives 
    and guns, 

    young 
    men 
    armed 
    with 
    hateAnd Lou Marsh 
    stepped 
    between 
    them 
    and 
    died 
    there in 
    his tracks 

    For one man 
    is no 
    army 
    when 

    the 
    city 
    turns 
    it
    s back 

    Now 
    the streets 
    are empty, 

    now the streets 
    are 
    dark 

    So keep 
    an eye on 
    shadows 

    and never 
    pass 
    the park 

    For 
    the 
    city 
    is 
    a jungle 
    when 

    the 
    law 
    is out 
    of sight 

    An
    d death 
    lurks in 
    El Barrio 
    with 
    the 

    orphans 
    of 
    the night 

    Verse 2
    He left behind 
    a chamber 
    of 
    a 

    church 
    he served 
    so long 

    For 
    he learned 
    the prayers 
    of distant 

    men will 
    never 
    right the wrong
    s 

    His 
    church 
    became 
    an alley 
    and 
    his 

    pulpit 
    was 
    the street 

    He made his 
    congregation 
    from the 
    boys 
    he used 

    to meet 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    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 

    an
    d knives 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 4
    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 
    re
    call 

    And shed 
    a tear on 
    poverty, 

    tombstone 
    of 
    us all

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
