Streets Of London chords by Tony Rice

Intro:
C G Am Em F C G C



Verse 1:

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

Chorus 1:

  F      C
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
D7              G
And say for you the sun won't shine?
C        G
Let me take you by the hand
Am            Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F       C       G          C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind


Verse 2:

C         G       Am          Em
Have you seen the old gal, who walks the streets of London
F      C       F     G
Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
C         G         Am       Em
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
F      C      G    C
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags


Chorus 2:

  F      C
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
D7              G
And say for you the sun won't shine?
C        G
Let me take you by the hand
Am            Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F       C     G            C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind



Interlude:
C G Am Em F C G C



Verse 3:

C        G     Am      Em
In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
F    C      F       G
Same old man sitting there, on his own
C       G        Am     Em
Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup
F         C       G      C
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone


Chorus 3:

  F      C
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
D7              G
And say for you the sun won't shine?
C        G
Let me take you by the hand
Am            Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F       C       G          C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind


Verse 4:

C         G     Am        Em
Have you seen the old man outside the Seamens mission
F        C       F        G
Memorie fathing, with the medalreabbons that he weares
C       G       Am      Em
In our winter city, the rain cryes little pitty
  F         C      G         C
For one more forgoten hero, and a world that doesn´t care


Chorus 4:

  F      C
So how can you tell me, you're lonely
D7                  G
And say for you that the sun doesn't shine?
C        G
Let me take you by the hand
Am            Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F       C       G          C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
