[D]
Have you seen [A] the old man [Bm] in the closed-down [F#m]
market?
[G] Kicking up [D] the papers
[E] with his worn [A]-out shoes
[D] In his eyes [A] you see no pride
[Bm] Handheld [F#m] loosely by side [G] there [D] yesterday's papers
[A] telling [D] yesterday's news
Have you [A] seen the old [Bm] girl who walks the streets of [F#m] London?
[G]
dirt in [D] her hair
[E] and her clothes [A] in rags
[D] She's no time [A] for talking.
She [Bm] just keeps right on [F#m] walking
[G] Carrying [D] her home
[A] into carrier [D] bags
And [G] then how can [F#m] you tell me
[D] [Em] [Bm] You're lonely
[E] Or say that for you the sun [A] won't shine
Let [D] me take [A] you by the hand and [Bm] lead you
Through [F#m] the streets of London.
[G] I will show [D] you something
[A] To make you change your [D] mind
In [G]
[D] [A]
[D]
the all [A]-night cafe [B] at a quarter past [F#m] eleven
[G] Same old [D] man
[E] sitting there on [A] his own
[D] Looking at the [A] world
[Bm] over the rim of his [F#m] teacup
[G] Each tea [D] lasts an hour [A] and he wanders home [D] alone
And have you seen [A] the old man [Bm] outside the seaman's [F#m] mission?
[G] His memory [D] fading [E] like the ribbons [A] that he wears
[D] And in this winter [A] city a [Bm] rain cries a little [F#m] pity
for [G] one more forgotten [D] hero
[A] in a world [D] doesn't care
And then [G] how can [F#m] you tell me [D] you're [C#] [Bm] lonely [E] Or say
That for you the sun [A] won't shine
Let [D] me take [A] you by the hand [Bm] and lead you
Through the [F#m] streets of London.
[G] I will show you [D] something
[A] To make you change [D] your mind
[G] How can you [F#m] tell me [D] you're [C#]
[Bm] lonely
Or [E] say that for you the sun [A] won't shine
[D] Let me take you [A] by the hand and [Bm] lead you
Through the [F#m] streets of London.
[G] I will show [D] you something
To [A] make you change your [D] mind
