Streets of London v3 Ralph McTell
[C]Have you seen the o[G]ld man in the c[Am]losed down mar[Em]ket,
[F]Kicking out the [C]papers with his [D]worn out sh[G]oes?
[C]In his eyes you see[G] no pride. H[Am]and held loosely[Em] by his side,
[F]Yesterday's p[C]aper telling y[G]esterday's n[C]ews.
CHORUS
So h[F]ow can you [C]tell me you're [G]lone[C]ly,
And[D] you say for you that the sun don't [G]shine?
[C]Let me take you [G]by the hand and [Am]lead you through the [Em]streets of London,
[F]I'll show you s[C]omething that'll ma[G]ke you change your [C]mind.
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London?
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags.
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking,
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.
CHORUS
In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven,
Same old man sitting there on his own.
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup,
Each tea lasts a hour, then he wanders home alone.
CHORUS
Have you seen the old man outside the seamen's mission?
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears.
In this lonesome city the rain cries a little pity,
For one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care.
CHORUS
