C                 G               Am          Em
Have you seen the old man in the closed-down market
F               C              Dm        G7
Kicking up the papers with his worn-out shoes?
C                G             Am
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely
Em
by his side
F            C             G7          C
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

Chorus:
    F           Em             C G Am
So how can you tell me you're lonely
D7                                   G    G7
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
C                G               Am
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through
       G
the streets of London
F              C            G7                   C
I'll show you something to make you 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 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 an hour, then he wanders home alone

Chorus

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 crys a little pity
For one more forgotten hero, and a world
that doesn't care

Chorus
