Newspaper Blanket chords by The Cowsills

Intro

Cm
Sad old man nobody loves him


Verse
Cm      Fm       G#       D#
Every morning I would see him sleeping in the dew
  Cm      Fm       G
He never noticed me as I passed by
  Cm       Fm       G#           D#
I'd walk by slowly staring at the holes worn through his shoes
Cm        Fm       G
Wondering how he managed to get by

Chorus
Cm     Fm   Am
Sad old man nobody loves him
Cm   B    F      D#
Sad old man has no place to stay
  G#           G#m
And nothing to claim but a broken down park bench
   A#                  Gm
And a newspaper blanket on a cold winter's day


Verse
  Cm       Fm        G#       D#
The afternoon would come; I'd see him begging by the square
   Cm      Fm       G
While I was in the crowd without a mind
  Cm     Fm         G#        D#
And had I been alone, I would have told him someone cared
    Cm       Fm       G
But it never bothered him for he was blind


Chorus
Cm     Fm   Am
Sad old man nobody loves him
Cm   B    F      D#
Sad old man has no place to stay
  G#           G#m
And nothing to claim but a broken down park bench
   A#                  Gm
And a newspaper blanket on a cold winter's day


Outro
Cm       Fm      Am
Sad old man how long will you be here
Cm   B    F      D#
Sad old man how long can you stay
  G#               G#m
For if you should leave who'll take care of the park bench
    A#                   Gm
And the newspaper blanket would be left by the way
