G D A D
[Verse 1]
D A Bm F#m Have you seen the old man in the closed-down market G D E7 A7 Kicking up the paper with his worn-out shoes? D A Bm F#m In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely at his side G D A7 D D Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
[Chorus]
G F#m D Bm So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly E7 E7 A A7 And say for you that the sun don't shine? D A Bm F#m Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London G D A7 D I'll show you something to make you change your mind
D A Bm A
[Verse 2]
D A Bm F#m Have you seen the old gal who walks the streets of London G D E7 A7 Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags? D A Bm F#m She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking G D A7 D D Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[Chorus]
G F#m D Bm So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly E7 E7 A A7 And say for you that the sun don't shine? D A Bm F#m Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London G D A7 D I'll show you something to make you change your mind

[Verse 3]
D A Bm F#m In the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven G D E7 A7 Same old man sitting there on his own D A Bm F#m Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup G D A7 D D Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone
[Chorus]
G F#m D Bm So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly E7 E7 A A7 And say for you that the sun don't shine? D A Bm F#m Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London G D A7 D I'll show you something to make you change your mind
D A Bm A
[Verse 4]
D A Bm F#m Have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission? G D E7 A7 Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears D A Bm F#m And in our winter city the rain cries a little pity G D A7 D D For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care
[Chorus]
G F#m D Bm So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly E7 E7 A A7 And say for you that the sun don't shine? D A Bm F#m Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London G D A7 D D I'll show you something to make you change your mind
