[Intro]
D A Bm F#m
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
