| Eb | Bb | | Have you seen the | old man |
|
| Cm | Gm | | In the | closed down | market |
|
| Ab | Eb | | Kicking up the | paper, |
|
| F7 | Bb7 | | with his | worn out | shoes |
|
| Eb | Bb | | In his eyes you | see no pride |
|
| Cm | Gm | | Hands held loosely | by his side |
|
| Ab | Eb | Bb7 | Eb | | Yesterday’s | paper telling | yesterday’s | news |
|
|
| | | Ab | Gm | Eb | Cm | | | So | how can you | tell me you’re | lonely | |
|
| | | F7 | Bb | Bb7 | | | | And say for you that the sun don’t | shine? | |
|
| | | Eb | Bb | | | | Let me take you | by the hand |
|
| | | Cm | Gm | | | and | lead you through the | streets of London |
|
| | | Ab | Eb | | | | I’ll show you | something, |
|
| | | Bb7 | Eb | | | to | make you change you’re | mind. |
|
|
|
Have you seen the old gal |
|
|
Who walks the streets of London |
|
|
Dirt in her hair and her clothes are in rags |
|
|
She’s no time for talking, |
|
|
She just keeps right on walking |
|
|
Carrying her home in two carrier bags |
|
|
|
|
|
And in the all night cafe |
|
|
|
Same old man is sitting there |
|
|
|
|
over the rim of his tea-cup |
|
|
|
Then he wanders home alone |
|
|
|
|
|
And have you seen the old man |
|
|
Outside the seaman’s mission |
|
|
|
With those medal ribbons he wears |
|
|
|
the rain cries a little pity |
|
|
For one more forgotten hero |
|
|
And a world that doesn’t care |
