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
