Chords for Ralph McTell - Streets of London - Live 1992

_ _ Thank you very much.
This is a song which brought me to Germany in 1975.
And if you would like to sing, I would like to hear you.
It's called Streets of London.
[D] _ _ _ [A] Have _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
you seen [A] the old man in the [Bm] clothes down [F#m] the market?
_ _ [G]
Kicking [D] up the papers with [G] his worn [A] out shoes?
_ [D] In his eyes [A] you see no pride [Bm]
and held [F#m] loosely at his side.
[G] _ _
_ [D] Yesterday's paper _ [A] telling _ _ [D] yesterday's _ news. _ _
_ [G] So how can [F#m] you tell me [Bm] that you're [F#m] _ [Bm] lonely? _
_ _ [E] _ And you say for you that the sun [A] don't shine. _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] Let me take [A] you by the hand [Bm] and lead you through the [F#m] streets of London.
[G] _ I'll show [D] you something _ [A] to make you change [D] your mind.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] Have you seen [A] the old girl [Bm] who walks the streets [F#m] of London?
_ _ [G] _ Dirt in [D] her hair and [G] her clothes in [A] red.
_ _ [D] She's no time [A] for talking, she [Bm] just keeps right on [F#m] walking.
_ _ [G] _ Carrying her [D] home _ [A] into _ carrier [D] bags.
_ _ _ _ So [G] how can [F#m] you tell me that [D] you're _ _ [Bm] lonely?
_ _ _ [E] And you say for you that the sun [A] don't shine.
_ _ _ _ _ [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 [D] your mind. _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
In the all [A] night cafe at [Bm] a quarter past [F#m] eleven.
_ _ [G] _
Same [D] old man _ [G] sitting there on [A] his own.
_ [D] Looking at [A] the world over the [Bm] rim of [F#m] his teacup.
_ _ [G] And each tea [D] lasts an hour _ [A] and he wanders home [D] _ alone. _ _ _
_ So [G] how can [F#m] you tell me that [D] you're _ [Bm] lonely?
_ _ _ [E] And you say for you that the sun [A] don't shine. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] Let me take [A] you by the hand and [Bm] lead you through [F#m] the streets of London.
_ [G] _ I'll show [D] you something _ [A] to make you change [D] your mind.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ Have you seen [A] the old man _ [Bm] outside the [F#m] seamen's mission?
_ _ [G] Memory fading [D] with the metal [G] ribbons that he [A] _ wears.
_ [D] And in our winter [A] city the rain [Bm] cries a [F#m] little pity.
_ _ [G] For one more forgotten [D] hero _ [A] and a world that [D] doesn't care. _ _ _ _
So [G] how can you [F#m] tell me that [D] you're _ _ [Bm] lonely? _
_ _ [E] And you say for you that the sun [A] don't shine.
[Bm] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [D] Let me take [A] you by the hand and [Bm] lead you through the [F#m]
streets of London.
[G] _ _ I'll show you [D] something _ [A] to make you change [D] your mind.
