F  C  G


Verse 1:

C          G   Am         Em
 Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,
F         C        D     G
 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      G      C
 Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news.

F Em Dsus2 D7sus2 G


Verse 2:

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


Verse 3:

C         G     Am      Em
 In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven,
F     C      D      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 a hour, then he wanders home alone.


Chorus:

   F      C       G  Am
 So how can you tell me you're lonely,
D         Dsus4         G    G7
 And you say for you that the sun don't shine?
C         G        Am          Em
 Let me take you by the hand and walk you through the streets of London,
F        C         G
 I'll show you something that'll make you change your...

Verse 4:

D          A     Bm        F#m
 Have you seen the old man outside the seamen's mission?
   G   D        E       A
 his memory fading with the medals that he wears.
 D       A       Bm       F#m
 In the winter city the rain cries a little pity,
   G       D     A         D
 one more forgotten hero and a world who doesn't care.


Chorus:

   G      D       A  Bm
 So how can you tell me you're lonely,
E                    A    A7
 And you say for you that the sun don't shine?
D         A        Bm          F#m
 Let me take you by the hand and walk you through the streets of London,
G        D         A          D
 I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind


Outro:

D         A        Bm          F#m
 Let me take you by the hand and walk you through the streets of London,
G        D         A          D
 I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind
