G C G D G

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,

G Em C G

kicking up the paper with worn out shoes ?

G C G D

In his eyes you see no pride, and held loosely at his side,

G Em C D G

Yesterdays paper telling yesterdays news.

Refrain:

C G D G

So how can you tell me youre lonely, and say, for you that the sun dont shine ?

Em C G D

Let me take you by the hand and lead you though the streets of London,

C G D G

Ill show you something to make you change your mind.

G C G D G

Have you seen the old girl who walks to the streets of London,

G Em C G

dirt in her hair and her clothes just in rags?

G C G D

Shes no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking,

G Em C D G

Carrying here home in two carrier bags

Refrain:

C G D G

So how can you tell me youre lonely, and say, for you that the sun dont shine ?

Em C G D

Let me take you by the hand and lead you though the streets of London,

C G D G

Ill show you something to make you change your mind.

G C G D G

In the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven,

G Em C G

same old man sitting there on his ownLooking at the world over the rim of him tea-cup,

G C G D

Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone.

G Em C D G

Refrain:

C G D G

So how can you tell me youre lonely, and say, for you that the sun dont shine ?

Em C G D

Let me take you by the hand and lead you though the streets of London,

C G D G

Ill show you something to make you change your mind.
