This was rejected as it was cited that it is a duplicate of Version 7. The chords are very similar however Version 7 has a number of verse faults that this version corrects. Most notably V7 - picking up the paper This - kicking up the paper V7 - some old man This - same old man V7 - Each day lasts and hour This - Each tea lasts an hour There are a variety of other differences too. Some excess "And" at the start of verses 3 and 4 plus a few other extras. I have also repeated the chorus for those people using the Auto-Scrolling feature of the tablet app to play along with. Verse 1: C G Am Em Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market F C D7 G7 kicking up the paper, with his worn-out shoes? C G Am Em In his eyes you see no pride, and held loosely by his side F C G7 C yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news Chorus: F Em C Am So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly D7 D7 G G7 don't say for you that the sun don't shine? C G Am Em Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London F C G7 C (there I'll) show you something, to make you change your mind Verse 2: C G Am Em Have you seen the old gal, who walks the streets of London F C D7 G7 dirt in her hair, and her clothes in rags? C G Am Em She's no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking F C G7 C Carrying her home, in two carrier bags Chorus: F Em C Am So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly D7 D7 G G7 don't say for you that the sun don't shine? C G Am Em Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London F C G7 C (there I'll) show you something, to make you change your mind Verse 3: C G Am Em In the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven F C D7 G7 same old man sitting there on his own C G Am Em Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup F C G7 C Each tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone Chorus: F Em C Am So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly D7 D7 G G7 don't say for you that the sun don't shine? C G Am Em Let me take you by the hand, and lead you through the streets of London F C G7 C (there I'll) show you something, to make you change your mind Verse 4: C G Am Em Have you seen the old man, outside the seaman's mission? F C D7 G7 memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears C G Am Em in our winter city, the rain cries a little pity F C G7 C For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn't care submitted by: Gary Milne gary@milne.com
