STREETS OF LONDON                      
Words and music: Ralph McTell  

   C                 G        Am                 Em
1) Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market.
2) Have you seen the old gal, who walks the streets of London
3) And in the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven
4) And have you seen the old man, outside the seaman's mission?


   F              C                D7       G7
1) Picking up the papers, with his worn-out shoes?
2) dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
3) some old man sitting there, all on his own
4) His memory's fading, with those medal ribbons that he wears


   C               G             Am               Em   
1) In his eyes you see no pride, and held loosely by his side,
2) She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
3) Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup
4) And in our winter city, the rain cries little pity


   F           C               G7          C     
1) yesterday's papers, telling yesterday's news
2) Carrying her home, in two carrier bags
3) Each day lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone
4) For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn't care

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

F               C             G7                   C      C   
  I'll show you something, to make you change your mind.
