Verse 1
C Have you seen the G old man in the Am closed-down Em market
F Kicking up the C paper with his Dm worn out G shoes?
C In his eyes you G see no pride, Am hands held loosely Em by his side
F Yesterday's C paper telling G7 yesterday's C news

Verse 2
C Have you seen the G old girl who Am walks the streets of Em London
F Dirt in her C hair and her Dm clothes in G rags?
C She's no time for G talking, she Am just keeps right on Em walking
F Carrying her C home in G7 two carrier C bags.

Verse 3
C In the all night G café, at a Am quarter past Em eleven,
F Same old C man is sitting Dm there on his G own
C Looking at the G world over the Am rim of his Em tea-cup,
F each tea last an C hour - then he G7 wanders home aClone

Verse 4
C And have you seen the G old man, outAmside the seaman's Em mission
F Memory fading C with the medal Dm ribbons that he G wears.
C In our winter G city, the Am rain cries a little Em pity
For F one more forgotten C hero and a G7 world that doesn't C care

Chorus
So  F how can you Em tell me you're C loneAmly,
D And say for D7 you that the sun don't G shine? G7
C Let me take you G by the hand and
Am lead you through Em the streets of London
F I'll show you C something to G make you change your C mind
Outro
F I'll show you C something to G make you change your C mind. C C
