Streets of London Ralph McTell
H[D]ave you seen the [A]old man
By the cl[Bm]osed down m[FKG]icking up the p[D]apers with his w[E7]orn out sh[A]oes
[D]In his eyes you'll s[A]ee no pride
H[Bm]and held loosely b[FG]Yesterday's p[D]aper, telling y[A7]esterday's n[D]ews.
So h[G]ow can you t[D]ell me that you're lo[A7]ne-l[Bm]y
[E7]And say for you the sun don't sh[A7]ine
L[D]et me take you b[A]y the hand
And l[Bm]ead you through the str[FG]I'll show you s[D]omething to m[A7]ake you change your m[D]ind.
H[D]ave you seen the [A]old girl
Who w[Bm]alks the streets of L[FDG]irt in her h[D]air and her cl[E7]othes all in r[A]ags
Sh[D]e's no time for t[A]alking
She just k[Bm]eeps right on w[FCG]arrying her h[D]ome in tw[A7]o carrier b[D]ags.
[D]In the all night c[A]afe
At a q[Bm]uarter past el[FSG]ame old m[D]an sitting th[E7]ere on his [A]own
L[D]ooking at the w[A]orld over the r[Bm]im of his t[FG]each tea lasts an h[D]our
and he w[A7]anders home al[D]one
H[D]ave you seen the [A]old man
outs[Bm]ide the seamen's m[FMG]emory fading with the m[D]edal r[E7]ibbon that he w[A]ears
[D]in our winter c[A]ity
The rain cr[Bm]ies a little p[Ffor one mG]ore forgotten h[D]ero
In a w[A7]orld that doesn't c[D]are.
