Ralph McTell - Streets Of London
|
Intro:
|
|
D A Bm F#m G D A D
|
|
D A
|
|
Have you seen the old man,
|
|
Bm F#m
|
|
in the closed-down market
|
|
G D Em A
|
|
picking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?
|
|
D A
|
|
In his eyes you see no pride,
|
|
Bm F#m G
|
|
hand held loosely by his side
|
|
G D A D
|
|
yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news
|
|
G F#m
|
|
So how can you tell me,
|
|
D D/C# Bm Bm/A E/Ab
|
|
you're l o n e l y
|
|
E/F# E A
|
|
and say for you that the sun don't shine?
|
|
D A
|
|
Let me take you by the hand,
|
|
Bm F#m G
|
|
and lead you through the streets of London
|
|
D
|
|
I'll show you something,
|
|
A D
|
|
to make you change your mind
|
|
D A
|
|
And have you seen the old girl,
|
|
Bm F#m G
|
|
who walks the streets of London
|
|
D Em A
|
|
dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
|
|
D A
|
|
She's no time for talking,
|
|
Bm F#m G
|
|
she just keeps right on walking
|
|
D A D
|
|
Carrying her home, in two carrier bags
|
|
Bridge:
|
|
D D/C# Bm F#m G D A D
|
|
D A
|
|
And in the all night cafe,
|
|
Bm F#m G
|
|
at a quarter past eleven
|
|
D Em A
|
|
same old man sitting there, on his own
|
|
D A
|
|
Looking at the world,
|
|
Bm F#m
|
|
over the rim of his tea-cup
|
|
G D
|
|
And each tea lasts an hour,
|
|
A D
|
|
and you wanders home alone
|
|
D D/C#
|
|
And have you seen the old man,
|
|
Bm A
|
|
outside the seaman's mission?
|
|
G D
|
|
Memory's fading with the
|
|
Em A
|
|
medal ribbons that he wears
|
|
D D/C#
|
|
And in our winter city,
|
|
Bm A
|
|
the rain cries a little pity
|
|
G D
|
|
For one more forgotten hero,
|
|
A D
|
|
and a world that doesn't care
|
