Streets Of London

VERSE: 
 
C G Am Em 
Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market 
F C D7 G7 
picking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes? 
C G Am Em 
In his eyes you see no pride, and held loosely by his side 
F C G7 C 
yesterday‘s papers, telling yesterday‘s news 
 
 
CHORUS: 
 
C 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 
 
 
OTHER VERSES: 
 
Have you seen the old gal, who walks the streets of London 
dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags? 
She‘s no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking 
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags 
 
And in the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven 
some old man sitting there, all on his own 
Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup 
Each day lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone 
 
And have you seen the old man, outside the seaman‘s mission? 
His memory‘s fading, with those medal ribbons that he wears 
And in our winter city, the rain cries little pity 
For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn‘t care
