Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)
Verse 1
E7E7
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
G7G7
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes?
E7E7
In his eyes you see no pride hand held loosely by his side
C majorC
Yesterday’s paper telling yesterday’s news
Chorus
A minorAm
So how can you tell me you’re lonely
G7G7
And say for you that the sun don’t shine
A minorAm
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the
E7E7
Streets of London
C majorC
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.
