and the shadow was cold
B

On the pale drawn face,
B

that was wrinkled and old
Am
Adim
Am
A newspaper coat,
Em
B
F#dim
B
Em
hanging loose 'round his throat
B
Em
And the shoes on his feet,
B
Em
strips of leather tied up with rope
Am
F#dim
Em
His un combed hair,
B
F#dim
B

and eyes that would stare
B
Em
At the people passing by,
B
Em
who didn't know or didn't care
Verse 2
Em
[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
Am
And the chalk on the brick work
B
Em
Are the pictures on his wall
B

F#dim
He lays down his head
B

On the pavement that's his bed
B

And when he sleeps, his dream s fade away

He walks down the street,

F#dim
B

with his hands in his coat
B

Looking down at his feet,
B

for a dog- end he could smoke
B
F#dim
Em
He thinks about food,
F#dim
Em
good drinking and good fun
B
Em
As he searches through the dustbins,
B
his life almost done
