[D] [A]
[Bm] [F#m]
[G] [D] [A]
[D]
Have you seen [A] the old man [Bm] in the closed down [F#m] market?
[G]
Kicking [D] up the papers with his [G]
worn [A] out shoes?
[D] In his [A] eyes you see no [Bm] pride and held loosely [F#m] at his side
[G]
[D] Yesterday's paper [A] telling [D] yesterday's news
[G] So how can [F#m] you tell me [D] you're [A] [Bm] lonely?
[E] Then he said for you that the sun [A] don't [Bm] shine
[A]
[D] Oh let me take [A] you by the hand [Bm] and lead you through [F#m] the streets of London
[G] I'll show [D] you something [A] to make you change [D] your mind
And [A]
[Bm] [A]
[D] have you seen [A] the old girl [Bm] who walks the streets [F#m] of London?
[G] Dirt in her [D] hair and her [G] clothes in [A]
rags
[D] She's no time [A] for talking, she [Bm] just keeps right on [F#m] walking
[G] Carry [D] the home [A] into [E] carrier [D]
bags
So [G] how [F#m] can you tell me [D] you're
[F#m] [Bm] lonely?
[E]
Then he said for you that the sun [A] don't [D] shine
[A] Oh [D] let me take you [A] by the hand [Bm] and lead you through [F#m] the streets of London
[G]
I'll show [D] you something [A] to make you change your [D] mind
[A] [Bm]
[F#m] [G]
[D] [A]
[D] And in the all night [A] cafe at [Bm] a quarter past [F#m] eleven
[G] Same [D] old man [G] sitting there on [A] his [D] own
[A] [D] Looking at [A] the world over the [Bm] rim of his [F#m] teacup
[G] And each tea [D] lasts an hour and [A] he [E] wanders home [D] alone
So [G] how can [F#m] you tell me that [D] you're [Bm] lonely?
[E] He said for you that the sun [A] don't [Bm] shine
[A]
[D] Oh let me take [A] you by the hand [Bm] and lead you through [F#m] the streets of London
[G] I'll show [D] you something to [A] make you change [D] your mind
[A]
[Bm] [A]
[D] And have you seen [A] the old man [Bm] outside [F#m] Seaman's Mission?
[G] Memory fading [D] with the metal [G] ribbons that he [A]
wears
[D] And in our winter [A]
city the [Bm] rain cries a little [F#m]
pity
For [G] one more forgotten [D]
hero [A] and a world that [D] doesn't care
[G] So how can [F#m] you tell me [D] that you're [E] lonely?
[Bm] [E]
He said for you that the sun [A]
don't [Bm] shine
[A] Oh
[D] let me take you [A] by the hand [Bm] and lead you through [F#m] the streets of London
[G] I'll show [D] you something
[A] to make you change your [D] mind
