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
D  A  Bm F#m
G  D  A  D
 
[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
