_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Have you [Bb] seen the old man [Cm] in the closed down [Gm] market?
_ _ [Ab] _ Kicking out [Ebm] the papers with [F] his worn [Gm] out shoes.
_ _ _ [Eb] In his [Bb] eyes you see no [Cm] pride and they're loosely [Gm] at his [Ab] side.
_ _ _ [Eb]
Yesterday's paper, [Bb] tell him _ _ [Eb]
yesterday's.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] So how _ [Gm] can you tell me [D] that you're _ _ [Cm] mourning?
[Eb] _ _ [F] _
And you say for you that the sun [Bb] will [Eb] 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 some, _ _ make you change your mind. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Have you seen [Bb] the old gal [Cm] who walks the streets [G] of London?
_ [Ab] _
Dirt in [Eb] her hair and [Ab] her clothes in [Gm] _ _ rags.
[Eb]
She's no time [Bb] for talking, _ [Cm] she just keeps right [Gm] on walking.
_ _ [Ab] _
Carrying [Eb] her home into _
[Bb] _ [Eb] carrier _ _ _ bags.
_ So [Ab] how [Eb] can [Gm] you tell me that [Eb] you're _ _ [Cm] mourning?
_ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ And you say for you that the sun [Bb] will shine. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] Let me [Bb] take you by the hand [Cm] and lead you through the [Gm]
streets of London.
[Ab] _ I'll show [Eb] you some, _ _ [Bb] make you [Eb] change your mind. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And in the [Bb] all night cafe _
[Cm] at a quarter [Gm] past eleven. _
[Ab] _ _ Same [Eb] old man [Ab] sitting _ there [Gm] on his [Bb] own. _
_ [Eb] Looking [Bb] at the world over [Cm] the rim of [Gm] his _ teacup.
[Ab] And each tea lasts [Eb] an hour _ [Bb]
and he wanders [Eb] home alone. _ _ _
_ _ So [Ab] how [Gm] can you tell me [D] that you're _ [Cm] mourning?
_ _ _ [F] _ And you say for you that the sun [Bb] will [Bb] shine. _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] Let me take you by the hand [Cm] and lead you through [Gm] the streets of London.
[Ab] _ I'll show [Eb] you some, _ _ [Bb] make you [Eb] change your mind. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And have you seen the [Bb] old man [Cm] _ outside the seamen's [Gm] mission?
_ _ [Ab] Memory [Eb] fading with the [Ab] metal ribbon that [Gm] he wears.
_ _ [Eb] And in the winter [Bb]
city _ [Cm] the rain cries a little [Gm] pity.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ And [Bb] a world that [Eb] doesn't care.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] So how _ [Gm] can you tell me [Eb] that you're [D] _ _ [Cm] mourning?
_ _ [F] _
And you say for you that the sun [Bb] 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 some, _ _ _ make [Bb] you change [Eb] your mind. _ _
