Streets Of London

C     G     Am    Em
F     C/G   G     C

[Verse 1]
C                 G              Am          Em
Have you seen the old man in the closed-down market
F              C/G            Dm/F     G
Kicking up the paper with his worn-out shoes?
C               G             Am               Em
In his eyes you see no pride, and held loosely at his side
F             C/G           G7          C       C
  Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

[Chorus]
   F           Em             C    G/B  Am   Am/G
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly
D7/F#                                G    G7
  and say for you that the sun don't shine?
C               G               Am                   Em
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
F               C/G          G7                   C
  I'll show you something to make you change your mind

[Instrumental]
C     G     Am     G

[Verse 2]
C                 G            Am                   Em
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
F           C/G          Dm/F       G
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
C                 G            Am                  Em
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
F            C/G     G7          C       C
Carrying her home in two carrier bags

[Chorus]
   F           Em             C    G/B  Am   Am/G
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly
D7/F#                                G        G7
  and say for you that the sun don't shine?
C/G             G               Am                   Em
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
F               C/G          G7                   C
  I'll show you something to make you change your mind

[Instrumental]
C     G     Am    Em
F     C/G   G     C

[Verse 3]
C                  G       Am            Em
In the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven
F        C/G         Dm/F         G
Same old man sitting there on his own
C              G              Am         Em
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea-cup
F                 C/G          G7            C       C
Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone

[Chorus]
   F           Em             C    G/B  Am   Am/G
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly
D7/F#                                  G       G7
  Don't say for you that the sun don't shine
C/G             G               Am                   Em
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
F               C/G          G7                   C
  I'll show you something to make you change your mind

[Instrumental]
C     G     Am     G

[Verse 4]
C/G               G          Am                Em
Have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission?
F             C/G            Dm/F            G
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
C             G             Am             Em
In our winter city the rain cries a little pity
    F                  C/G        G7                 C    C
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care

[Chorus]
   F           Em             C    G/B  Am   Am/G
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly
D7/F#                                G        G7
  and say for you that the sun don't shine?
C/G             G               Am                   Em
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London,
F               C/G          G7                   C      F/C     C
  I'll show you something to make you change your mind
