STREETS OF LONDON (Ralph McTell) Capo3
C Have you seen G the old man, in the Am closed-down Em market
F Picking up the C papers, with his D7 worn-out G7 shoes?
C In his eyes you G see no pride, Am hands held loosely by his Em side
F yesterday's C papers, telling G7 yesterday's C news
[CHORUS]
C So F how can you Em tell me, you're C lo - ne - Am ly
D7 and say for you that the sun don't G shine? G7
C Let me take you G by the hand, and Am lead you through the Em streets of London
F I'll show you C something, to G7 make you change your C mind
C Have you seen the G old gal, who Am walks the streets of Em London
F dirt in her C hair, and her D7 clothes in rags? G7
C She's no time for G talking, she just Am keeps right on Em walking
F Carrying her C home, in two G7 carrier C bags
[CHORUS]
C So F how can you Em tell me, you're C lo - ne - Am ly
D7 and say for you that the sun don't G shine? G7
C Let me take you G by the hand, and Am lead you through the Em streets of London
F I'll show you C something, to G7 make you change your C mind
C And in the all-night G cafe, at a Am quarter past Em eleven
F some old C man sitting D7 there, all on his own G7
C Looking at the G world, over the Am rim of his Em tea-cup
F He makes tea last an C hour, then he G7 wanders home C alone
[CHORUS]
C So F how can you Em tell me, you're C lo - ne - Am ly
D7 and say for you that the sun don't G shine? G7
C Let me take you G by the hand, and Am lead you through the Em streets of London
F I'll show you C something, to G7 make you change your C mind
C And have you seen the G old man, Am outside the seaman's Em mission?
F Memory C fading, with those medal D7 ribbons that he wears G7
C And in our winter G city, the rain Am cries a little Em pity
F For one more forgotten C hero, and a G7 world that doesn't C care
[CHORUS]
C So F how can you Em tell me, you're C lo - ne - Am ly
D7 and say for you that the sun don't G shine? G7
C Let me take you G by the hand, and Am lead you through the Em streets of London
F I'll show you C something, to G7 make you change your C mind
