Sinéad O'Connor – Streets Of London (Guitar)

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

F              C              Dm       G7
Kicking up 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             G7          C    C
 Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

   F           Em             C    G     Am
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly

D7                                G      G7
  And say for you that the sun don't shine?

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

F              C            G7                   C
 I'll show you something to make you change your mind

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

F           C            Dm          G7
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       G7          C    C
Carrying her home in two carrier bags

   F           Em             C     G   Am
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly

D7            D7                     G      Am G7
  And say for you that the sun don't shine?

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

F              C            G7                   C
 I'll show you something to make you change your mind

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

F        C           F            G7
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             G7            C    C
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone

   F           Em             C     G    Am
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly

D7            D7                     G      Am G7
  And say for you that the sun don't shine?

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

F              C            G7                   C
 I'll show you something to make you change your mind

C                 G          Am                Em
Have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission?

F             C              F              G7
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears

    C             G             Am             Em
And in our winter city the rain cries a little pity

    F                  C          G7                 C    C
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care

   F           Em             C         Am
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly

D7            D7                     G      G7
  And say for you that the sun don't shine?

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

F              C            G7                   C    C
 I'll show you something to make you change your mind

F              C            G7                   C    C
 I'll show you something to make you change your mind
