[D] you [A]
[D] seen [A] the old man [Bm] in the closed-down [F#m] larder?

[G] Yesterday's [A] [D] people,
[A] telling [C#] [D] yesterday's news.

[D] Let me take [A] you by the hand [Bm] and lead you through [F#m] the streets of London.
[G] I'll [D] show you something [A] to [C#] make you change [D] your mind.

[G] Dirt in her [D]
hair [G] and her clothes in [A]
red.
[G] [D] She's no [A] time for talking, [Bm] she just keeps right on [F#m]
walking.
[G] Carrying [F#m] her home [A] into carrier [D]

[D] Looking [A] at the world over [Bm] the rim of his [F#m]
teacup.
[G] And each tea lasts [A] an hour, and he wanders [C#] home [D]
alone.

[D] In our [A] winter city, the [Bm] rain cries a little [F#m] pity.
[G] For one more [A] forgotten hero, and a world [C#] that [D] doesn't care.
