Blackmore's Night – Streets Of London (Guitar)

C                   G      Am                 Em
  Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,

F                 C               D          G
  Kicking out the papers with his worn out shoes?

C                  G           Am                  Em
  In his eyes you see no pride.  Hand held loosely by his side,

F             C            G           C
  Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news.

C                   G            Am                   Em
  Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London?

F             C            D          G
  Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags.

C                   G            Am                      Em
  She's no time for talking, no, she just keeps right on walking,

F              C           G        C
  Carrying her home in two carrier bags.

C                  G         Am            Em
  In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven,

F          C           D            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 a hour, then he wanders home alone.

     F           C              G   Am
  So how can you tell me you're lonely,

D                 Dsus4                  G       G7
  And you say for you that the sun don't shine?

C                 G               Am                    Em
  Let me take you by the hand and walk you through the streets of London,

F               C                 G
  I'll show you something that'll make you change your...

   C      G   Am   Em  F   C
...mind

D                   A          Bm                F#m
  Have you seen the old man outside the seamen's mission?

      G      D               E              A
  his memory fading with the medals that he wears.

  D             A             Bm             F#m
  In the winter city the rain cries a little pity,

      G              D          A                 D
  one more forgotten hero and a world who doesn't care.

     G           D              A   Bm
  So how can you tell me you're lonely,

E                                        A       A7
  And you say for you that the sun don't shine?

D                 A               Bm                    F#m
