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 F G
Kicking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?
C G Am Em
In his eyes you see no pride, and there loosely at his side
F C G C
Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
[Chorus 1]
F C
So how can you tell me, that you're mourning
D7 G
And you say for you that the sun don't shine?
C G
Let me take you by the hand
Am Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
[Verse 2]
C G Am Em
Have you seen the old gal, who walks the streets of London
F C F G
Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
C G Am Em
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
F C G C
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags
[Chorus 2]
F C
So how can you tell me, that you're mourning
D7 G
And you say for you that the sun don't shine?
C G
Let me take you by the hand
Am Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
[Interlude]
C G Am Em F C G C
[Verse 3]
C G Am Em
And in the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
F C F G
Same old man sitting there, on his own
C G Am Em
Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup
F C G C
And each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
[Chorus 3]
F C
So how can you tell me, that you're mourning
D7 G
And you say for you that the sun don't shine?
C G
Let me take you by the hand
Am Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
[Verse 4]
C G Am Em
And have you seen the old man outside the seamens' mission
F C F G
Memory fading with the medal-ribbon that he wears
C G Am Em
And in the winter city, the rain cries a little pity
F C G C
For one more forgotten hero, in a world that doesn't care
[Chorus 4]
F C
So how can you tell me, that you're mourning
D7 G
And you say for you that the sun don't shine?
C G
Let me take you by the hand
Am Em
And lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I'll show you something, to make you change your mind
