 Have you seen the old man  

5 -4 4 4 5 5

 In the closed down market 

4 4 4 4 4 4

 Kicking up the papers  

4 4 -4 -4 5 

With his worn out shoes 

5 5 5 6 6 6 5

 In his eyes you see no pride 

4 4 4 5 5 -5 5 

And held loosely by his side 

4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 -3// -3 4 

Yesterday’s paper telling yesterday’s news  

4 -5 -5 -5 5 5 6 6 -5 5 

So how can you tell me you’re lo-one-ly 

-4 -4 -4 -4 -3// -3// 4 -3 -2 

and say for you that the sun don’t shine 

5 5 5 6 6 6 5  

Let me take you by the hand 

-4 4 -3 4 -4 5 -5 5 4 

and lead you through the streets of London 

4 4 4 4 4 

I’ll show you something  

3 3 3 -3// -3 4 

To make you change your mind
