[N] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Have you seen [Bb] the old man [Cm] in the close-down [Gm] market?
_ _ [Ab] _ Kicking up [Ebm] the papers [Ab] with his worn-out shoes
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] In his eyes you [Bb] see no pride in [Cm] there loosely [Gm] at his [Ab] side _ _ _
[Eb] Yesterday's paper [Bb] tell him _ _
[Eb] yesterday's
_ _ So, _ _
[Ab] how can you [G] tell me [Eb] that you're _ _ _ [Cm] mortal?
_ [F] _
_ And you say [Am] for you that the sun [Bb] don't shine _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] Let me [Bb] take you by the hand [Cm] and lead you through the [G] 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 of [Gm] London? _ _
[Ab] _ Dirt in [Eb] her hair and her [Ab] _ clothes in rags
[Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] She's no time for [Bb] talking. _
[Cm] She just keeps right on [Gm] walking _ _
[Ab] _ Carrying [Eb] her home into [Bb] _ _ [Eb] carrier bed _ _
_ _ [Ab] So, how [G] can you tell me that [Eb] you're mortal? _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] And you say for you [Am] that the [Bb] sun don't shine _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Let me take [Bb] you by the hand [Cm] and lead you through the [Gm] streets of [Ab] London
_ I'll show you [Eb] some
_ _ _ [Bb] Make you [Eb] change your mind _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ And in the all [Bb]-night cafe _ [Cm] at a quarter past [Gm] 11 _
_ [Ab] _ Same [Eb] old man [Ab] sitting there on [Bb] his own _
_ [Eb] Looking at [Bb] the world over [Cm] the rim of his [Gm] teacup _
[Ab] And each tea lasts [Eb] an hour
And [Bb] he wanders home [Eb] alone _
_ _ _ So, [Ab] how [Gm] can you tell me [Eb] that you're mortal? _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ And you say for you that the [Bb] sun don't shine _
_ _ _ _ [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 [Bb] you change [Eb] your mind _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And have you seen [Bb] the old man _ [Cm] _ outside the [Gm] seamen's mission?
_ _ [Ab] _ Memory [Eb] fading with the [Ab] metal ribbon that he [Bb] wears
_ [Eb] And in the winter [Bb] city the [Cm] rain cries a little [Gm] pity
_ [Ab] But one more forgotten [Eb] hero _ [Bb] and a world that [Eb]
doesn't care
_ _ _ _ [Ab]
So, how can [Gm] you tell me that you're mortal? _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[Am] And you say for you that the sun [Bb] don't shine _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] Let me take [Bb] you by the hand [Cm] and lead you through [Gm] the streets of London
[Ab] _ I'll show you [Eb] some _ _
Make you [Bb] change your mind
