STREETS OF LONDON


[C] Have you seen the [G] old man
In the [Am] closed down [Em] market
[F] Kicking up the [C] paper,
with his [D7] worn out [G7] shoes
[C] In his eyes you [G] see no pride
[Am] Hands held loosely [Em] by his side
[F] Yesterday's [C] paper telling [G7] yesterday's [C] news

So [F] how can you [Em] tell me you're [C] lonely [Am]
[D7] And say for you that the sun don't [G] shine? [G7]
[C] Let me take you [G] by the hand and [Am] lead you through the [Em] streets of London
[F] I'll show you [C] something, to [G7] make you change you're [C] mind

Have you seen the old gal
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes are in rags
She's no time for talking,
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags

So how can you........

And in the all night cafe
at a quarter past eleven
Same old man is sitting there
all on his own
Looking at the world
over the rim of his tea-cup
each tea last an hour
Then he wanders home alone

So how can you.........

And have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
His memory is fading,
With those medal ribbons he wears
And in our winter city,
the rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn't care

So how can you..........
