[A]
[Em] [Bm] [C]
[G] [D] [G]
Have you [D] seen the old man [Em] in the closed down [Bm] market?
[C] Kicking up the [G] paper with [C] his worn out [D] shoes.
[G] In his eyes [D] you see no pride [Em] and they're [Bm] loosely at his [C] side.
[G] Yesterday's paper [D] telling [G] yesterday's news.
Have you seen [D] the old gal [Em] who walks the [Bm] streets of London?
[C] Bird [G] in her hair [C] and her clothes in [D] red.
[G] She has no [D] time for talking, [Em] she just keeps [Bm] right on walking.
[C] Carrying [G] her home [D] into the [G] carrier bags.
[C] So how [Bm] can you tell me [G] that you're [Em] lonely?
[A] And you say for you that the sun [D] don't shine.
[G] Let me take [D] you by the [Em] hand and lead you through [Bm] the streets of [C] London.
I'll [G] show you something [D] to make you [G] change your mind.
[E] [Em]
[D] [C] [G] [D]
[G]
And in the [D] all night cafe [Em] at a quarter [Bm] past eleven.
[C] Same [G] old man [C] sitting there [D] on his own.
[G] Looking [D] out at the world [Em] over the rim [Bm] of his teacup.
[C] And each tea [G] lasts an hour [D] and he wanders [G] home alone.
Have you [D] seen the old man [Em] outside the [Bm] seaman's mission?
[C] Memory [G] fading with the [C] metal ribbon [D] that he wears.
[G] And in the [D] winter city [Em] the rain cries a [Bm] little pity.
[C] One more [G] forgotten hero [D] in a world that [G] doesn't care.
[C] So how [Bm] can you tell me [F#] that you're [Em] lonely?
[C#] And you say for you that the sun [D] don't shine.
[G] Let me take [D] you by the [Em] hand and lead you through [Bm] the streets of [C] London.
I'll show [G] you something [D] to make you [G] change your mind.
