Streets of London - Ralph McTell - 40 bpm

C
Have you seen the 
G
old man 
Am
in the closed down 
Em
market

F
Kicking up the 
C
paper 
D7
with his worn out 
G
shoes

C
In his eyes you 
G
see no pride 
Am
and held loosely 
Em
by his side,

F
yesterday's 
C
paper telling 
G
yesterday's 
C
news

	
F
How can you 
Em
tell me you're 
C
lone
Am
ly

	
D7
 And say, for 
D7
you, that the sun don't 
G
shine
G

	
C
Let me take you 
G
by the hand and 
Am
lead you through the 
Em
streets of London

	
F
I'll show you 
C
something to 
G
make you change your 
C
mind

C
Have you seen the 
G
old gal who 
Am
walks the streets of 
Em
London

F
Dirt in her 
C
hair 
D7
and her clothes in 
G
rags

C
She's no time for 
G
talkin, she 
Am
just keeps right on 
Em
walkin

F
Carryin her 
C
home in 
G
two carrier 
C
bags

C
In the all night 
G
cafe at a 
Am
quarter past el
Em
even

F
Same old man 
C
sitting 
D7
there on his 
G
own

C
Looking at the 
G
world over the 
Am
rim of his 
Em
teacup

F
Each tea lasts an 
C
hour and 
G
he goes home al
C
one

C
Have you seen the 
G
old man out
Am
side the seaman's 
Em
mission

F
Memory 
C
fading like the 
D7
ribbons that he 
G
wears

C
In our winter 
G
city, the 
Am
rain cries a little 
Em
pity

F
For one more forgotten 
C
hero in a 
G
world that doesn't 
C
care
