Verse 1 E7 Have you seen the old man in the closed down market G7 Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes? E7 In his eyes you see no pride hand held loosely by his side C Yesterday’s paper telling yesterday’s news Chorus Am So how can you tell me you’re lonely G7 And say for you that the sun don’t shine Am Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the E7 Streets of London C
I’ll show you something to make you change your mind. Verse 2 (Same chords following) Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags? She’s no time for talkin’ she just keeps right on walkin’ Carrying her home in two carrier bags. Chorus Verse 3 In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven Same old man sitting there on his own Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup And each tea last an hour and he wanders home along Chorus Verse 4 Have you seen the old man outside the seman’s mission Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears? And in our winter city the rain cries a little pity For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn’t care.
