Intro C G Am Em F C G C

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

Chorus
   F           Em             C C/B Am Am/G D
So how can you tell me you're lonely
D                                  G
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            G                    C    C G Am G
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

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

Chorus
   F           Em          C C/B Am Am/G D
So how can you tell you're lonely
D                                  G
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            G                    C    C G Am Em F C G C
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Verse 3
C                G         Am            Em
In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven
F        C           D            G
Same old man sitting there on his own
C              G              Am         Em
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
    F                 C           G             C
And each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone

Chorus
   F           Em             C C/B Am Am/G D
So how can you tell me you're lonely
D                                  G
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            G                    C   C G Am G
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Verse 4
C                 G          Am                Em
Have you seen the old man outside the seamen's mission
F             C              D               G
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          G                  C
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care

Chorus
   F           Em             C C/B Am Am/G D
So how can you tell me you're lonely
D                                  G
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            G                    C   C
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
