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