Streets Of London
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 2nd fret
## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ##
[INTRO:] C G Am Em F C D G C G Am Em F C G C
[VERSE 1:]
G Am Em F
Have you seen the old man in the closed-down market
C D G C
Kicking up the paper with his worn-out shoes
G Am Em
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely by his side
F C G C
A yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
[VERSE 2:]
G Am Em F
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
C D G
Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
C G Am Em F
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
C G C
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[CHORUS:]
F Em C ~ Am
And then how can you tell me, you're lonely
D G
Or say that for you, the sun won't shine?
C G Am Em
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I will show you something to make you change your mind
[INTERLUDE:] F C G C
[VERSE 3:]
G Am Em F
In the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven
C D G C
Same old man sitting there on his own
G Am Em F
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
C G C
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone
[VERSE 4:]
G Am Em F
And have you seen the old man outside a seaman's mission?
C D G
His memory is fading like the ribbons that he wears
C G Am Em
And in this winter city, the rain cries little pity
F C G C
For one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care
[CHORUS:]
F Em C ~ Am
And then how can you tell me, you're lonely
D G
Or say that for you, the sun won't shine?
C G Am Em
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I will show you something to make you change your mind
[CHORUS:]
F Em C ~ Am
How can you tell me, you're lonely
D G
Or say that for you, the sun won't shine?
C G Am Em
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I will show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old man in the closed down market,
Kicking up the paper with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely at his side,
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news.
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London,
Dirtel hair and her clothes in raigs?
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking,
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
Than how can you tell me, you're lonely
Or say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
In the all night cafe at quarter past eleven
Same old man sitting there on his own.
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup.
Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone.
Have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission,
His memory fading like the ribbons that he wears?
And in this winter city the rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero and a world doesn't care.
Than how can you tell me, you're lonely
Or say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
Than how can you tell me, you're lonely
Or say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
