The Streets Of London Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Hav[A]e y[Bm]ou s[A]een the [D]old man[A]
in the [Bm]closed -down mar[A]ket?
Kick[G]ing up the pa[F#m]pers
[D]in his [E]worn -out [A]shoes.
[D]In his eyes you [A]see no [Bm]pride,
hands held loosely [A]by his side.
Yes[G]terday's pa[D]pers
telling [A]yesterday's [D]news
[A]And have you[D] seen the old[A] girl
who [Bm]walks the streets of [A]London
[G]Dirt in her [D]hair and
[E]her clothes in [A]rags
[D]She's no time for [A]talking,
[Bm]she just keeps right on [A]walking
[G]Carrying her [D]home in [A]two carrier [D]bags
So [G]how can you [D]tell me
you're [A]lonely[Bm][D]
[E]And say for you that the sun don't [A]shine
[D]Let me take you [A]by the hand
And [Bm]lead you through the
[A]streets of London
[G]I'll show you [D]something
to [A]make you change your [D]mind[A][Bm][A]
[D]In the all -night [A]cafe
at a [Bm]quarter past elev[A]en
That [G]same old man [D]sitting
[E]there on his [A]own
Look[D]ing at the [A]world or the
[Bm]rim of his t[F#m]eacup[A]
[G]Each tea lasts an [D]hour,
then he [A]wanders home [D]alone[A]
[D]Have you seen the [A]old man
out[Bm]side the seaman's [A]mission?
[G]Memories fading
[D]like the metal [E]ribbons that he [A]wears
And [D]in our winter [A]city, the [Bm]rain,
it cries a little [A]pity
For [G]one more forgotten hero
[D]in a wor[A]ld that doesn't car[D]e
So [G]how can you tell [D]me
you're [A]lonely?[Bm]
[E]And say for you that the sun don't shi[A]ne
[D]Let me take you [A]by the hand
and [Bm]lead you through the [F#m]streets of Lon[A]don
[G]I'll show you som[D]ething
to [A]make you change your [D]mind[A]
[D]Let me take you [A]by the hand
and [Bm]lead you through the
[A]streets of London
[G]I'll show you [D]something
[G]to [A]make you change your [D]mind
