[Intro 1]
[A][Am][A][Am][E][Bdim][Fdim][Am]
[E][Bdim][Am][E][Am]
The [E]sun was low,

[Verse 1]
[Am]
[E]and[Am] the [E]shadow was cold[Am]
On [E]the pale [Am]drawn face,
that [E]was wrinkled and [Am]old
A [Dm]news[Ddim]paper co[Dm]at,
[Am]hang[E]ing loos[Bdim]e 'round[E] his throat[Am]
And [E]the shoes on his [Am]feet,
strips of [E]leather tied up with [Am]rope
His [Dm]un c[Bdim]ombed ha[Am]ir,
and [E]eye[Bdim] s that would s[E]tare[Am]
At the [E]people passing [Am]by,
who didn't [E]know or didn't [Am]care

[Verse 2]
[Chorus:] [Am]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
And [Dm]the chalk on the brick work
Are [E]the pictures on his [Am]wall
He [E]lays [Dm]down his head[Bdim]
On the [E]pavement that's his [A]bed[Am]
And when he [E]sleeps, his [Ddim]dream s [Bdim]fade away[E]

[Interlude 1]

[E][Am]
[E][Am][E][Am][E][Am][E]

[E][Am]

[Verse 3]
He [E]walks down the street,
[Am]with his hands[E] in [Bdim]his coat[E][Am]
Looking [E]down at his [Am]feet,
for [E]a dog- end he could [Am]smoke
[E]He think[Bdim] s about food,[Am]
good [Bdim]drinking and good [Am]fun
As [E]he searches through the [Am]dustbins,
[E]his life almost done

[Outro 1]
[Chorus:]
[Am][Dm]
[E][Am][Bdim][E][Am]
[E][Ddim][E][Am][Bdim]
