[Intro]
| C G | Am Em | F C | G C |

[Verse 1]
C                    G
Have you seen the old man
             Am         Em
In the closed  down market
F                C
Kicking up the paper
             F    G
With his worn out shoes?
C               G
In his eyes you see no pride
Am               Em
And held loosely at his side
F            C             G           C
 Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

[Chorus]
   F               Em          C   C/B Am Am/G
So how can you tell  me you're lonely
D7/F#                                   G
     And say for you that the sun don't shine?
C                 G
Let me take you by the hand and
Am                   Em
Lead you through the streets of London
F             C        G                        C
 Show you something to make you change your mind

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C                    G
Have you seen the old girl
         Am                  Em
Who walks  the streets of London
F               C               F        G
Dirt in her hair 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

[Chorus]
   F               Em          C   C/B Am Am/G
So how can you tell  me you're lonely
D7/F#                                   G
     And say for you that the sun don't shine?
C                 G
Let me take you by the hand and
Am                   Em
Lead you through the streets of London
F             C        G                        C
 Show you something to make you change your mind

[Verse 3]
C                  G
In the all night cafe
          Am         Em
At a quarter past eleven
F           C        F               G
Same old man sitting there on his own
C                   G
Looking at the world
            Am          Em
Over the rim  of his teacup
F                 C
Each tea lasts an hour
           G             C
And he wanders home alone

[Chorus]
   F               Em          C   C/B Am Am/G
So how can you tell  me you're lonely
D7/F#                                   G
     And say for you that the sun don't shine?

[Verse 4]
C                    G
Have you seen the old man
   Am                Em
Outside the Seaman's Mission
F                 C             F                 G
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
C             G
In our winter city
         Am               Em
The rain cries a little pity
       F                 C
For one more forgotten hero
           G                 C
And a world that doesn't care

[Chorus]
   F               Em          C   C/B Am Am/G
So how can you tell  me you're lonely
