[C]Have you seen the [G]old man in the [am]closed down [E]market[E7],
|
||
[F]kickin´ up the [C]papers with his [F]worn out sh[G G7]oes.
|
||
[C]In his eyes you [G]see no pride, [am]hand held loosely [E]at his [E7]side.
|
||
[F]Yesterday's [C]paper telling [G7]yesterday's [C]news.
|

|

{soc}
|

So [F]how can you [E]tell me[E7] you're [C C/H am]lonely.
|
||
[D]And say for you that the sun don't [G][G7]shine.
|
||
Le[C]t me take you [G]by the hand and [am]lead you through the [E]streets of [E7]London.
|
||
[F]I'll show you [C]something to [G7]make you change your[C] mind.

[C]Have you seen the [G]old girl, who [am]walks the streets of [E]London[E7]
|
||
[F]dirt in her [C]hair and her [F]clothes in ra[G G7]gs?
|
||
[C]She's no time for [G]talking, she [am]just keeps right on [E]walkin'[E7]
|
||
[F]carrying her [C]home in two [G7]carrier [C]bags.
|
||
|
||
[C]In the all night [G]cafe at a [am]quarter past [E]eleven[E7]
|
||
[F]same old man [C]sitting there [F]on his [G G7]own
|
||
[C]lookin´ at the [G]world over the [am]rim of his [E]tea [E7]cup
|
||
and [F]each tea last an [C]hour and he [G7]wanders home [C]alone.
|
||
|
||
[C]Have you seen the [G]old man out[am]side the seaman's [E]mission[E7]
|
||
[F]memory [C]fading with the [F]medal ribbons that he [G G7]wears?
|
||
[C]And in our [G]winter city the [am]rain cries a [E]little [E7]pitty
|
||
for [F]one more forgotten [C]hero and a [G7]world that doesn't [C]care.
