Verse 1
D 
Bm 
D 
A 
D 
Have you
A 
seen the old man
Bm 
A 
F#m 
outside the closed -down market?
G 
D 
Kicking up papers
E 
A 
with old worn -out shoes?
F#m 
D 
A 
In    his eyes you'll see no pride,
Bm 
A 
F#m 
And   held so loosely by
G 
his side.
D 
Yesterday's papers,
A 
D 
yesterday's news,
G 
F#m 
How can you say   that
D 
Bm 
A 
you're lonely?
Em 
E 
A 
Say for you, the sun don't shine
D 
A 
Let me take you by the hand
Bm 
A 
I'll lead you through
F#m 
the streets of London
G 
D 
I'll show you something
A 
D 
To make you change your mind
A 
Have you seen the old girl
Bm 
A 
F#m 
Who walks the streets  of London
G 
D 
Dirt in her hair
E 
Em 
A 
And her clothes all in rags
D 
A 
She's got no time for talking
Bm 
A 
F#m 
She just keeps right on    walking,
G 
D 
A 
D 
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
G 
F#m 
D 
How can you say   that you're lonely,
A 
D 
Bm 
A 
Em 
And say for you the
E 
A 
sun don't shine?
D 
A 
Let me take you by the hand
Bm 
A 
I'll lead you through the
F#m 
G 
streets of London
D 
I'll show you something
A 
D 
to make you change your mind
In the all -night cafe
A 
Bm 
F#m 
at a quarter past     eleven
G 
D 
A 
D 
Same old man sitting there,
E 
A 
all on his own
F#m 
D 
A 
Gazing at the world
Bm 
A 
Bm 
F#m 
past the rim of his teacup
G 
D 
Each tea lasts an hour,
A 
then he wanders on alone
D 
G 
F#m 
So how can you say that
D 
Bm 
A 
you're lonely?
E 
Em 
A 
And say for you the sun don't shine
D 
A 
Let me take you by the hand
Bm 
A 
I'll lead you through the
F#m 
streets of London
G 
D 
I'll show you something
A 
D 
To make you change your mind
A 
Have you seen the old man
Bm 
A 
F#m 
Outside the seaman's mission
G 
D 
Memory fading
E 
A 
Like the medals that he wears
D 
A 
In our winter city,
Bm 
A 
F#m 
the rain cries a  little pity
G 
F#m 
One more forgotten hero
D 
A 
in a world that doesn't care
D 
G 
F#m 
And you dare to say that
D 
A 
Bm 
A 
you're lonely
Em 
E 
A 
Say for you, the sun don't shine
D 
A 
Let me take you by the hand
Bm 
A 
F#m 
I'll lead you through the streets of London
G 
D 
I'll show you something
A 
To make you change your mind
