	        C	                         G	                    Am	            Em     
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,     
F	                        C	        	D7            G7     
Kicking out the papers with his worn out shoes?     
C                         G	                    Am	                     Em    
In his eyes you see no pride.  Hand held loosely by his side,     
F	             C                     G7                C     
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news.     
     
     
     Dm                Em    	           C   Am     
     So how can you tell me you're lonely,     
   D                     D7		                  G    G7    
     And say for you that the sun don't shine?     
     C                           G                          Am	                             Em     
     Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,     
     F                     C                            G                                      C     
     I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind.  
   
     
C	                          G                   Am	                            Em     
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London?     
F	           C		         D7	           G7     
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags.     
C                            G	           Am	                     Em    
She's no time for talkin', she just keeps right on walking,     
F	              C              G7               C     
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.     
       
     Dm          Em    	   C   Am     
     So how can you tell me you're lonely,     
   D             D7		        G    G7    
     And say for you that the sun don't shine?     
     C               G               Am	                  Em     
     Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,     
     F             C                 G                    C     
     I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind.  
   
     
C	               G	 Am	        Em     
In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven,     
F	             C		F	   G7     
Same old man sitting there on his own.     
C                      G	            Am	      Em    
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup,     
F	   C               G               C     
Each tea lasts a hour, then he wanders home alone.     
     
    
     Dm          Em    	   C   Am     
     So how can you tell me you're lonely,     
   D             D7		        G    G7    
     And say for you that the sun don't shine?     
     C               G               Am	                  Em     
     Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,     
     F             C                 G                    C     
     I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind.  
   
     
C	               G	 Am	        Em     
Have you seen the old man outside the seamen's mission?     
F	             C	     D7	             G7     
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears.     
C                      G	         Am	      Em    
And in the winter city the rain cries a little pity,     
F	   C               G7              C     
For one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care.     
     
    
     Dm          Em    	   C   Am     
     So how can you tell me you're lonely,     
   D             D7		        G    G7    
     And say for you that the sun don't shine?     
     C               G               Am	                  Em     
     Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,     
     F             C                 G                    C     
     I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind.
