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