Streets of London - Ralph McTell [lyrics] Chords

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