  	  C                G7         Am                   Em

  1-	Have you seen the old man outside the closed-down market

  	  F             C               G7

  	Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes

  	C                   G7              Am              Em

  	In his eyes you'll see no pride and carried loosely at his side

  	     F          C              G7           C

  	Are yesterday's papers telling yesterday's news

  

  	

  		     F           C              G7  Am

  	[R]	 So how can you tell me you're lonely

  		F                                   G7

  		And say for you that the sun don't shine

                   C              G7               Am                    Em

  		Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London

  	        F               C            G7                     C

  		I will show you something to make you change your mind.

  

  

  2-	Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London

  	Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags

  	She's got no time for talking, she just keeps on walking

  	Carrying her home in two carrier bags

  

  3-	In the all-night café at quarter past eleven

  	See the same old man sitting on his own

  	Gazing at the world over the rim of his tea cup

  	Each cup lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone

  

  4-	Have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission

  	Memories fading with the medal ribbon he wears

  	In our winter city the rain cries a little pity

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