Street of London
Ralph Mc Telly
[Intro]: C G Am Em // F C G C
[Verse 1]
C G Am Em
Have you seen the old man in the closed-down market
F C D7 G7
Kicking up the paper with his worn-out shoes?
C G Am Em
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely at his side
F C G7 C C
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
[Chorus]
F Em C Am
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly
D7 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 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 gal who walks the streets of London
F C D7 G7
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 G7 C C
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[Chorus]
F Em C Am
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly
D7 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 G7 C
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[Instrumental] : C G Am Em // F C G C
[Verse 3]
C G Am Em
In the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven
F C D7 G7
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 G7 C C
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone
[Chorus]
F Em C Am
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly
D7 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 G7 C
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
[Instrumental] : C G Am G
[Verse 4]
C G Am Em
Have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission?
F C F G7
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
C G Am Em
And in our winter city the rain cries a little pity
F C G7 C C
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care
[Chorus]
F Em C Am
So how can you tell me you're lo - ne - ly
D7 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 G7 C
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
