VERSE:
[C] Have you seen the [G] old man, [Am] in the closed-down [Em] market
[F] picking up the [C] papers, with his [D7] worn-out [G7] shoes?
[C] In his eyes you [G] see no pride, [Am] and held loosely [Em] by his side
[F] yesterday's [C] papers, telling [G7] yesterday's [C] news
CHORUS:
[C] So [F] how can you [Em] tell me, you're [C] lo – ne – [Am] ly
[D7] 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 the [Em] streets of London
[F] I'll show you [C] something, to [G7] make you change your [C] mind [C]
VERSE
[C] Have you seen the [G] old gal [Am] who walks the streets of [Em] London
[F] Dirt in her [C] hair and her [D7] clothes in [G7] rags
[C] She's no time [G] for talkin, [Am] she just keeps [Em] right on walkin
[F] Carryin her [C] home in two big [G7] shopping [C] bags
[C] And in the all-[G] night cafe, [Am] at a quarter past [Em] eleven
[F] same old man [C] sitting there, all [D7] on his [G7] own
[C] Looking at the [G] world, over the [Am] rim of his tea-[Em] cup
[F] Each day lasts [C] an hour, then he [D7] wanders [G7] home alone
CHORUS
[C] So [F] how can you [Em] tell me, you're [C] lo – ne – [Am] ly
[D7] and say for [D7] you that the sun don't [G] shine? [G7]

[F] I'll show you [C] something, to [G7] make you change your [C] mind [C]
VERSE
[C] And have you seen [G] the old [Am] man, outside the [Em] seaman's mission?
[F] His memory's [C] fading, with those [D7] medal [G7] ribbons that he wears
[C] And in our winter [G] city, the [Am] rain cries little [Em] pity
[F] For one more [C] forgotten hero, and [D7] a world [G7] that doesn't care
CHORUS
[C] So [F] how can you [Em] tell me, you're [C] lo – ne – [Am] ly
[D7] 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 the [Em] streets of London
[F] I'll show you [C] something, to [G7] make you change your [C] mind [C]
