Liam Clancy - Streets Of London
CAPO: 2nd Fret
## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ##
[INTRO:] C G Am Em F C D G C G Am Em F C G C
[VERSE 1:]
G Am Em F
Have you seen the old man in the closed-down market
C D G C
Kicking up the paper with his worn-out shoes
G Am Em
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely by his side
F C G C
A yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
[VERSE 2:]
G Am Em F
Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
C D G
Dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags?
C G Am Em F
She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
C G C
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
[CHORUS:]
F Em C ~ Am
And then how can you tell me, you're lonely
D G
Or say that for you, the sun won't shine?
C G Am Em
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I will show you something to make you change your mind
[INTERLUDE:] F C G C
[VERSE 3:]
G Am Em F
In the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven
C D G C
Same old man sitting there on his own
G Am Em F
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
C G C
Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone
[VERSE 4:]
G Am Em F
And have you seen the old man outside a seaman's mission?
C D G
His memory is fading like the ribbons that he wears
C G Am Em
And in this winter city, the rain cries little pity
F C G C
For one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care
[CHORUS:]
F Em C ~ Am
And then how can you tell me, you're lonely
D G
Or say that for you, the sun won't shine?
C G Am Em
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I will show you something to make you change your mind
[CHORUS:]
F Em C ~ Am
How can you tell me, you're lonely
D G
Or say that for you, the sun won't shine?
C G Am Em
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
F C G C
I will show you something to make you change your mind
