[Gm] We [D] have a young English writer too, a fellow called Ralph McTell, who wrote a lot of very good songs, but one of them is quite an incredible song.
Have you [A] seen the old man, [Bm] in the clothes [F#m] that he's [G] [D] wearing?
[Em] With his worn out [A] shoes, [D] in his [A] eyes you see no [Bm] pride, and him to split [F#m] by his side.
[G] Gets good [D] as dust, [A] telling his [D] city fear.
[G] Oh how can [D] he tell me you're lonely, [F#m] [E]
and pray for you that the sun [A] doesn't shine.
[D] Oh let me take [A] you by the [Bm] hand, and lead you [F#m] through the streets of [G] London.
[D] I'll show you something, [F#m] to make you change [D] your mind.
[G] [D]
Have you [A] seen the old girl, [Bm] who walks the [D] streets of [F#m] London?
[G]
[D] Dirt in her hair, and her [E] clothes in [A] rags.
[D] She's no time [A] for talking, [Bm] she keeps right [F#m] on walking.
[G] [D] Carrying her home, [A] in two [D] carrier bags.
[G] Oh how can [D] he tell me you're [F#m] [Bm] lonely, [F#m] [E] and pray for you that the [A] sun doesn't shine.
[D] [F#m] Oh let me take you by the hand, and [Bm] lead you through [F#m] the streets of London.
[G] I'll [D] show you something, to make you change your mind.
In the [A] all night cafe, [Bm] at a quarter past [F#m] eleven.
[G] [D] Same old man, [E] sitting [A] there on his arm.
[D] [A] The world [Bm] over the moon, [F#m] [G] each day lasts [D] an hour.
[A]
[D] All alone.
[G] Oh how [D] can he tell me [A] you're [Bm] [F#m] lonely, [E] and pray for you that the sun [A] doesn't shine.
[D] Oh let me take [A] you by [Bm] the hand, and lead you [A] through the streets of [G] London.
I'll [D] show you something, [A] to [D] make you change your mind.
[G] [D] Now have you seen [A] the old man, [Bm] outside the [F#m] seamen's mish?
[G] [D] Everything that [E] [A] he wears.
[D] In [A] our winter city, [Bm] while the rain [F#m] cries little busy.
[G] For one more [D] forgotten hero, [A] and a world [D] that doesn't care.
[G] Oh how can [D] he tell me you're [F#m] [Bm] lonely, [D] [E]
and pray for you that the [A] sun doesn't shine.
[D] Oh let me take you [A] by the [Bm] hand, and lead you [F#m] through the streets of [G] London.
I'll show you [D] something, [A] to make you [D] change your mind.
I'll show you something, to [A] make you change your [D] mind.
