Cm 
Sad old man nobody loves him 


Verse 
Cm            Fm              G#              D# 
Every morning I would see him sleeping in the dew 
   Cm            Fm             G 
He never noticed me as I passed by 
    Cm             Fm             G#                     D# 
I'd walk by slowly staring at the holes worn through his shoes 
Cm               Fm             G 
Wondering how he managed to get by 


Chorus Cm Fm Am Sad old man nobody loves him Cm B F D# Sad old man has no place to stay G# G#m And nothing to claim but a broken down park bench A# Gm And a newspaper blanket on a cold winter's day
Verse Cm Fm G# D# The afternoon would come; I'd see him begging by the square Cm Fm G While I was in the crowd without a mind Cm Fm G# D# And had I been alone, I would have told him someone cared Cm Fm G But it never bothered him for he was blind
Chorus Cm Fm Am Sad old man nobody loves him Cm B F D# Sad old man has no place to stay G# G#m And nothing to claim but a broken down park bench A# Gm And a newspaper blanket on a cold winter's day
Outro Cm Fm Am Sad old man how long will you be here Cm B F D# Sad old man how long can you stay G# G#m For if you should leave who'll take care of the park bench A# Gm And the newspaper blanket would be left by the way
