Verse 1:
C majorC         G+G
Have you seen the old man
    A minorAm     E minorEm
In the closed-down market?
FF       C majorC
Kicking up the papers
     D7D7  G+G  G7G7
With his worn out shoes
C majorC        G+G
In his eyes you see no pride
A minorAm       E minorEm
Hand held loosely by side
    FF      C majorC       G+G      C majorC
They're yesterday's papers telling yesterday's news

Verse 2:
C majorC         G+G
Have you seen the old girl
  A minorAm          E minorEm
Who walks the streets of London?
FF      C majorC      D7D7     G7G7
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
C majorC         G+G
She's no time for talking
    A minorAm       E minorEm
She just keeps right on walking
FF      C majorC   G7G7  G+G    C majorC
Carrying her home in two carrier bags

And then how can you tell me you're lone-ly?

Or say for you that the sun won't shine
C majorC        G+G        A minorAm          E minorEm
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
FF       C majorC      G+G          C majorC
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Verse 3:
 C majorC        G+G
In the all night cafe
   A minorAm      E minorEm
At a quarter past eleven
FF            D7D7      G7G7
Same old man is sitting there on his own
C majorC       G+G
Looking at the world
     A minorAm     E minorEm
Over the rim of his tea-cup
C majorC        FF
Each tea last an hour
G7G7   G7G7   G+G    C majorC
Then he wanders home alone


Verse 4:
C majorC           G+G
And have you seen the old man
  A minorAm        E minorEm
Outside the seaman's mission
 FF     C majorC
 His memory fading like
  G+G        C majorC
The ribbons that he wears
C majorC       G+G
In this winter city
     A minorAm       E minorEm
The rain cries a little pity
FF           D7D7
For one more forgotten hero
   G7G7         C majorC
In a world that doesn't care


Chorus:
     FF      C majorC        G+G  C majorC
And then how can you tell me, you're lone-ly
  D MajorD               G7G7
Or say that for you the sun won't shine
C majorC        G+G        A minorAm          E minorEm
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the Streets Of London
FF        C majorC       G+G          C majorC
I will show you something, to make you change your mind

Or say that for you the sun won't shine
C majorC        G+G        A minorAm          E minorEm
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the Streets Of London
