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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  D7  Em  F  G  G7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
