Verse 1:

C majorC         G+G    A minorAm         E minorEm
Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market
FF       C majorC        D7D7    G7G7
kicking up the paper, with his worn-out shoes?
C majorC        G+G       A minorAm        E minorEm
In his eyes you see no pride, and held loosely by his side
FF      C majorC        G7G7     C majorC
yesterday’s paper, telling yesterday’s news


Chorus:

FF       E minorEm       C majorC     A minorAm
So how can you tell me, you’re lo - ne - ly
D7D7       D7D7            G+G   G7G7
 don’t say for you that the sun don’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       G7G7          C majorC
(there I’ll) show you something, to make you change your mind

Verse 2:

C majorC         G+G       A minorAm          E minorEm
Have you seen the old gal, who walks the streets of London
FF      C majorC      D7D7     G7G7
dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
C majorC         G+G       A minorAm         E minorEm
She’s no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
FF      C majorC      G7G7   C majorC
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags


Chorus:
FF       E minorEm       C majorC     A minorAm
So how can you tell me, you’re lo - ne - ly
D7D7       D7D7           G+G   G7G7
 don’t say for you that the sun don’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       G7G7          C majorC
(there I’ll) show you something, to make you change your mind


Verse 3:

C majorC         G+G     A minorAm       E minorEm
In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
FF     C majorC      D7D7      G7G7
same old man sitting there on his own
C majorC        G+G       A minorAm     E minorEm
Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup
FF         C majorC       G7G7      C majorC
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone

Chorus:

FF       E minorEm       C majorC     A minorAm
So how can you tell me, you’re lo - ne - ly
D7D7       D7D7           G+G   G7G7
 don’t say for you that the sun don’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       G7G7          C majorC
(there I’ll) show you something, to make you change your mind


Verse 4:

C majorC         G+G    A minorAm          E minorEm
Have you seen the old man, outside the seaman’s mission?
FF   C majorC           D7D7       G7G7
memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
C majorC        G+G       A minorAm       E minorEm
in our winter city, the rain cries a little pity
FF           C majorC      G7G7        C majorC
For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn’t care
