_ _ _ _ _ _
Have you seen [Bb] the old man [Cm] in the close-down [Gm] market?
_ _ [Ab] _
Kicking out the [Eb] papers with [Ab] his worn [Gm]-out shoes? _
_ [Eb] In his [Bb] eyes you see no [Cm] pride and they're [Gm] loosely at his [Ab] side.
_ _ _ [Ebm] Yesterday's paper, [Bb] tell of _ _ [Eb]
yesterday's. _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] So how _ [Gm] can you tell me [Eb] that you're _ _
_ [Cm] mourning?
_ _ [F] _
And you say for you that the sun [Bb] will [Eb] shine.
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Eb] Let me take [Bb] you by the hand [C] and lead you through [Cm] [Gm] the streets of London.
[Ab] _ I'll show [Eb] you something [Bb] to make you change [Eb] your _ mind. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Have you seen [Bb] the old gal [C] who walks [Cm] the streets of [Gm] London?
_ _ [Ab] _
Dirt [Eb] in her hair and [Ab] her clothes in [Bb] _
_ rags.
[Eb] She's no time for [Bb] talking, _ [Cm] she just keeps right on [Gm] walking. _
_ [Ab] _ Carrying [Eb] her home into _ [Bb] _
carrier [Eb] _ _ bags. _
_ So [Ab] how [Eb]
can you [Gm] tell me that [Eb] you're _ _ [Cm] mourning?
_ [Eb] _
[F] _ And you say for you that the [Bb] sun will shine.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
Let me take [Bb] you by the [Cm] hand and lead you through [Gm] the streets of London.
[Ab] _ I'll [Eb] show you something _ [Bb] to make you change [Eb] your mind. _

_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And in the all [Bb]-night cafe [Cm] at a quarter [Gm] past eleven, _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] Same old man [Ab] sitting there [Bb] on his own,
_ [Eb] Looking at [Bb] the world over [Cm] the rim of [Gm] his _ teacup.
[Ab] He eats tea [Eb] less an hour _ [Bb] and he wanders home [Eb] alone. _ _
_ _ [Ab] So how [Gm] can you tell me [Eb] that you're _ _ _ [Cm] mourning? _
_ [F] _ And you say for you that the sun [C] will shine.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb]
Let me take [Bb] you by the hand [Cm] and lead you through [Gm] the streets of London.
[Ab] _ I'll show [Eb] you something _ [Bb] to make you change [Eb] your _ mind. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And have you seen the [Bb] old man _ [C] _
outside [Cm] the seamen's [Gm] mission?
_ [Ab] _ Memory [Eb] fading with the [Ab] metal ribbon that [Bb] he wears.
_ _ [Eb]
And in the winter [Bb] city the [Cm] rain cries a little [Gm] pity
_ [Ab] For one more forgotten [Eb] _ hero in [Bb] a world that [Eb] doesn't care.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] So how _ [Eb] [Gm] can you tell me [Eb] that you're _ _ [Cm]
mourning?
_ _ [F] _ And you say for you that the sun [Bb] will [C] shine.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Eb] Let me take you [Bb] by the hand [Cm] and lead you through [Gm] the streets of London.
[Ab] _
_ I'll show [Eb] you something _ to [Bb] make you [Eb] change your mind. _ _ _ _
