Streets of London

	C	G	Am	Em
	Have you seen the	old man in the	closed down	market,

	F	C	D7	G7
	kicking up the	paper with his	worn out	shoes.

	C	G	Am	Em
	In his eyes you	see no pride,	hand held loosely	at his side,

	F	C	G	C
	Yestedrays	paper telling	yesterdays	news.

	F	Em	C	Am	D7	G	G7
So	how can you	tell me you're	lo-one-	ly -	And say for you that the sun don't	shine.

	C	G	Am	Em
	Let me take you	by the hand - And	lead you through the	streets of London:

	F	C	G7	C
	I'll show you	something to	make to change your	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 talkin' she just keep right on walking,

Carrying her home in two carrier bags.

So how can you tell me you're lonely - And say for you that the sun don't shine.

Let me take you by the hand - And lead you through the streets of London:

I'll show you something to make to change your mind.

In the allnight cafe at a quarter past eleven,

the same old man sitting there on his own.

Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup,

Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone.

So how can you tell me you're lonely - Don't say for you that the sun don't shine.

Let me take you by the hand - And lead you through the streets of London:

I'll show you something to make to change your mind.

Have you seen the old man, outside the seaman's mission,

memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears.

In our winter city the rain cries a little pity

For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care.

So how can you tell me you're lonely - And say for you that the sun don't shine.

Let me take you by the hand - And lead you through the streets of London:

I'll show you something to make to change your mind.
