[Intro]
C G Am Em F C G C
[Verse 1]
C G Am Em
Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market
F C F G
Kicking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?
C G Am Em
In his eyes you'd see no pride, hand held loosely by his side
F C G C
Yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news
[Chorus 1]
F C
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
D7 G
And say for you the sun won't shine?
C G
Let me take you by the hand
Am Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
[Verse 2]
C G Am Em
Have you seen the old gal, who walks the streets of London
F C F G
Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
C G Am Em
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
F C G C
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags
[Chorus 2]
F C
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
D7 G
And say for you the sun won't shine?
C G
Let me take you by the hand
Am Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
[Interlude]
C G Am Em F C G C
[Verse 3]
C G Am Em
In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
F C F G
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 an hour, then he wanders home alone
[Chorus 3]
F C
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
D7 G
And say for you the sun won't shine?
C G
Let me take you by the hand
Am Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
[Verse 4]
C G Am Em
Have you seen the old man outside the Seamens mission
F C F G
Memorie fathing, with the medalreabbons that he weares
C G Am Em
In our winter city, the rain cryes little pitty
F C G C
For one more forgoten hero, and a world that doesn´t care
[Chorus 4]
F C
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
D7 G
And say for you that the sun doesn't shine?
C G
Let me take you by the hand
Am Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
