Verse 1:

C majorC         G+G        A minorAm     E minorEm
Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market
FF       C majorC        FF    G+G
Kicking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?
C majorC         G+G       A minorAm        E minorEm
In his eyes you'd see no pride, hand held loosely by his side
FF      C majorC    G+G          C majorC
Yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news

Chorus 1:

  FF      C majorC
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
D7D7              G+G
And say for you the sun won't shine?
C majorC        G+G
Let me take you by the hand
A minorAm            E minorEm
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 2:

C majorC         G+G       A minorAm          E minorEm
Have you seen the old gal, who walks the streets of London
FF      C majorC       FF     G+G
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      G+G    C majorC
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags


Chorus 2:

  FF      C majorC
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
D7D7              G+G
And say for you the sun won't shine?
C majorC        G+G
Let me take you by the hand
A minorAm            E minorEm
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     A minorAm      E minorEm
In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
FF    C majorC      FF       G+G
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       G+G      C majorC
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone


Chorus 3:

  FF      C majorC

A minorAm            E minorEm
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 4:

C majorC         G+G     A minorAm        E minorEm
Have you seen the old man outside the Seamens mission
FF        C majorC       FF        G+G
Memorie fathing, with the medalreabbons that he weares
C majorC       G+G       A minorAm      E minorEm
In our winter city, the rain cryes little pitty
  FF         C majorC      G+G         C majorC
For one more forgoten hero, and a world that doesn´t care

I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
