A
Have you seen the old man
Bm
F~m
By the closed down market
G
D
Kicking up the papers
E7
A
with his worn out shoes
D
A
In his eyes you’ll see no pride
Bm
F~m
Hand held loosely by his side
G
D
Yesterday’s paper,
A7
D
telling yesterday’s news.
G
D
So, how can you tell me
A7
Bm
that you’re lone ly
E7
A7
And say for you the sun don’t shine
D
A
Let me take you by the hand
Bm
And lead you through
F~m
the streets of London
G
D
I’ll show you something
A7
D
to make you change your mind.
D
A
Have you seen the old girl
Bm
F~m
Who walks the streets of London
G
D
Dirt in her hair
E7
A
and her clothes all in rags
D
A
She’s no time for talking
Bm
F~m
She just keeps right on walking
G
D
Carrying her home
A7
D
in two carrier bags.
D
A
In the all night cafe
Bm
F~m
At a quarter past eleven
G
D
Same old man
E7
A
sitting there on his own
D
A
Looking at the world
Bm
F~m
over the rim of his teacup
G
D
each tea lasts an hour
A7
D
and he wanders home alone
D
A
Have you seen the old man
Bm
F~m
outside the seamen’s mission
G
Memory fading with the
D
E7
A
medal ribbon that he wears
D
A
in our winter city
Bm
F~m
The rain cries a little pity
G
D
for one more forgotten hero
A7
D
In a world that doesn’t care.
