C                 G
Have you seen the old man
       Am          Em
In the closed-down market
F              C
Kicking up the paper,
         D        G
with his worn out shoes?
C               G
In his eyes you see no pride
Am                Em
Hand held loosely by his side
F           C             G           C
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news


      F           C              G  C
R: So how can you tell me you're lonely,
    D                              G
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
C               G               Am                   E
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
F             C                 G                    C
I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind


C                 G
Have you seen the old girl
    Am                   Em
Who walks the streets of London
F           C
Dirt in her hair
        D          G
and her clothes in rags?
C                 G
She's no time for talking,
         Am             Em
She just keeps right on walking
F            C       G           C
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.


R:

C                G
In the all night cafe
     Am           Em
At a quarter past eleven,
F        C
Same old man
           D            G
is sitting there on his own
C              G
Looking at the world
         Am         Em
Over the rim of his tea-cup,
F                 C             G            C
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone


R:

C                 G
Have you seen the old man
    Am               Em
Outside the Seaman's Mission
F      C
Memory fading
         D              G
with the medals that he wears
C             G
In our winter city,
    Am                  Em
The rain cries a little pity
F                      C          G                  C
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care


R:
