E H C#m G#m
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,
A E F#/F#m H
Kicking out the papers with his worn out shoes?
E H C#m G#m
In his eyes you see no pride. Hand held loosely by his side,
A E H E
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
CHORUS
A E H E
So how can you tell me you're lonely,
F# H
And you say for you that the sun don't shine?
E H C#m G#m
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
A E H E
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
E H C#m G#m
Have you seen the old girl, who walks the streets of London
A E F#/F#m H
dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
E H C#m G#m
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
A E H E
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
CHORUS
A E H E
So how can you tell me you're lonely,
F# H
And you say for you that the sun don't shine?
E H C#m G#m
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
A E H E
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
E H C#m G#m
In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven,
A E F#/F#m H
Same old man sitting there on his own.
E H C#m G#m
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup,
A E H E
Each tea lasts a hour, then he wanders home alone.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
CHORUS
A E H E
So how can you tell me you're lonely,
F# H
And you say for you that the sun don't shine?
E H C#m G#m
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
A E H E
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
E H C#m G#m
Have you seen the old man outside the seamen's mission?
A E F#/F#m H
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears.
E H C#m G#m
In this lonesome city the rain cries a little pity,
A E H E
For one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
CHORUS
A E H E
So how can you tell me you're lonely,
F# H
And you say for you that the sun don't shine?
E H C#m G#m
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
A E H E
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
