[Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
[Fm] [Bb]
[Eb] Have you [Bb] seen the old man in the [Cm] closed-down [Gm] market?
[Ab] Kicking [Eb] up the papers [Fm] with his [Ab] worn [Bb]-out shoes?
[Eb] In his [Bb] eyes you see no [Cm] pride, and held [Gm] loosely by his [Ab] side
[Eb] Yesterday's paper [Bb] telling [Eb] yesterday's news
[Ab] So how can [Gm] you tell me [Eb] you're lonely?
[Cm] [Bb] [F] And 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 something [Bb] to make you change [Eb] your [Gm] [Eb] [Fm] mind
[Eb]
[Bb]
[Eb] Have you [Bb] seen the old girl [Cm] who walks the streets [Gm] of London?
[Ab] Dirt in [Eb] her hair [Bb] and [Ab] her clothes [Bb] in red?
[Eb] She's no [Bb] time for talking, [Cm] she just keeps right [Gm] on walking
[Ab] Carrying [Eb] her home [Bb] into [Eb]
Carrioband
So [Ab] how can you [Gm] tell me [Eb] you're [Bb] lonely?
[C] [Bb] [F] And say for you that the sun [Bb] don't shine?
[Gm] [Eb] Let me take [Bb] you by the hand [Cm] and lead you through [Gm] the streets of London
[Ab] I'll [Eb] show you something [Bb] to make you change [Eb] your [Ab] mind
[Eb]
[Bb]
[Eb] In the all [Bb]-night cafe [Cm] at a quarter [Gm] past eleven
The [Ab] same [Eb] old [Bb] man sitting [C] there [Gm] on his own
[Eb] Looking [Bb] at the world over [Cm] the rim of his [Gm] teacup
[Ab] Each tea [Eb] lasts an hour [Bb] and he wanders home [Eb] alone
[Ab] So how can [Gm] you tell me [Eb] you're lonely?
[Cm] [F] And say for you that the sun [Bb] don't shine?
[Gm] [Eb] Let me take [Bb] you by the hand [Cm] and lead you through the [Gm] streets of London
[Ab]
I'll show [Eb] you something [Bb] to make you change [Eb] your mind
[Ab]
[Eb] Have [Bb]
[Eb] you [Bb] seen the old man [Cm] outside the [Gm] seaman's mission?
[Ab] Memory fading [Eb]
with the metal [Fm] ribbons that he [Bb]
wears
[Eb] In our [Bb] winter city [Cm] the rain cries a [Gm] little pity
[Ab] For one more forgotten [Eb] hero [Bb] and a world that [Eb] doesn't care
[Ab] So how can [Gm] you tell me [Eb] you're [Bb] [Cm] lonely?
[Eb]
[F] And say for you that the sun [Bb] don't shine?
[Eb] Let me take [Bb] you by the hand [Cm] and lead you [Gm] through the streets of [Ab] London
I'll [Eb] show you something [Bb] to make you change your [Eb]
