The sun was low,

and the shadow was cold
Bb
Ebm
On the pale drawn face,
Bb
Ebm
that was wrinkled and old
Abm
Abdim
Abm
A news paper coat,
Ebm
Bb
Fdim
Bb
Ebm
hanging loose 'round his throat
Bb
Ebm
And the shoes on his feet,
Bb
Ebm
strips of leather tied up with rope
Abm
Fdim
Ebm
His un combed hair,
Bb
Fdim
Bb
Ebm
and eye s that would stare
Bb
Ebm
At the people passing by,
Bb
Ebm
who didn't know or didn't care
Verse 2
Ebm
[Chorus:] This
poor old man he's all alone
He's got no money or
no home of his own
The back street's his kitchen
The footpath's his hall
Abm
And the chalk on the brick work
Bb
Ebm
Are the pictures on his wall
Bb
Abm
Fdim
He lays down his head
Bb
Eb
Ebm
On the pavement that's his bed
Bb
Abdim
Fdim
Bb
And when he sleeps, his dream s fade away

Verse 3
Bb
He walks down the street,
Ebm
Bb
Fdim
Bb
Ebm
with his hands in his coat
Bb
Ebm
Looking down at his feet,
Bb
Ebm
for a dog- end he could smoke
Bb
Fdim
Ebm
He thinks about food,
Fdim
Ebm
good drinking and good fun
Bb
Ebm
As he searches through the dustbins,
Bb
his life almost done
