Streets Of London(Keyboard chords)

	        


Intro: C  G  Am  Em  F  C  D  G  C  G  Am  Em  F  C  G  C 

verse 1: 
                  G              Am          Em      F 
Have you seen the old man in the closed-down market 
               C              D        G      C 
Kicking up the paper with his worn-out shoes 
                G            Am                 Em 
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely by his side 
  F           C             G            C 
A yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news 

verse 2: 
                  G            Am                   Em       F 
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London 
            C             D          G 
Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags? 
C                 G                Am              Em       F 
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking 
             C       G           C 
Carrying her home in two carrier bags 

         F           Em              C ~ Am 
And then how can you tell me, you're lonely 
   D                               G   
Or say that for you, the sun won'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 will show you something to make you change your mind 


INTERLUDE: F  C  G  C 

verse 3: 
                 G         Am            Em     F 
In the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven 
         C           D            G    C 
Same old man sitting there on his own 
               G              Am         Em      F 
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup 
                  C             G             C 
Each day lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone 

verse 4: 
                      G          Am              Em        F 
And have you seen the old man outside a seaman's mission? 
              C               D               G 
His memory is fading like the ribbons that he wears 
    C              G              Am           Em  
And in this winter city, the rain cries little pity 
        F              C         G                  C 
For one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care 

         F           Em              C ~ Am 
And then how can you tell me, you're lonely 
   D                               G   
Or say that for you, the sun won'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 will show you something to make you change your mind 

F           Em              C ~ Am 
How can you tell me, you're lonely 
   D                               G   
Or say that for you, the sun won'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 will show you something to make you change your mind
