Intro:
C C7 G G7 AM E7 F F7 C C7 G G7 C
C C7 G Am E7
Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market
F C D7 G G7
picking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?
C G Am E7
In his eyes you see no pride, Hand held loosely by his side
F C C7 G G7 C
yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news
C F E7 C C/B Am
So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly
D D7 G G7
and say for you that the sun don't shine?
C G Am E7
Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
F C C7 G G7 C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
C G Am E7
Have you seen the old girl, who walks the streets of London
F C D D7 G G7
dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
C G Am E7
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
F C C7 G G7 C
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags
C F E7 C C/B Am
So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly
D D7 G G7
and say for you that the sun don't shine?
C G Am E7
Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
F C C7 G G7 C C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
C G Am E7
And in the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
F C D D7 G G7
same old man sitting there on his own
C G Am E7
Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup
F C C7 G G7 C
Each day lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone
C F E7 C C/B Am
So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly
D D7 G G7
and say for you that the sun don't shine?
C G Am E7
Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
F C C7 G G7 C C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
C G Am E7
And have you seen the old man, outside the seaman's mission?
F C D D7 G G7
His memory's fading, with the medal ribbons that he wears
C G Am E7
And in our winter city, the rain cries little pity
F C C7 G G7 C
For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn't care
C F E7 C C/B Am
So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly
D D7 G G7
and say for you that the sun don't shine?
C G Am E7
Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London
F C C7 G G7 C C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind.
