VERSE 1:
Have you seen the old man - in the closed down market
Kickin up the papers - with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride, hand held loosely at his side
Yesterday’s paper - tellin yesterday’s news
CHORUS:
So how can you tell me - you’re lo-one-ly
And say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand
and lead you through the streets of London
Show you something - to make you change your mind
VERSE 2:
Have you seen the old girl - who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She’s no time for talkin - she just keeps right on walkin
Carryin her home in two carrier bags
CHORUS:
So how can you tell me - you’re lo-one-ly
And say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand
and lead you through the streets of London
Show you something - to make you change your mind
VERSE 3:
In the all night café - at a quarter past eleven
Same old man - sitting there on his own
Lookin at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour - and he wanders home alone
CHORUS:
So how can you tell me - you’re lo-one-ly
Don’t say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand
and lead you through the streets of London
Show you something - to make you change your mind
VERSE 4:
Have you seen the old man - outside the seaman’s mission
Memory fadin with the medal ribbons that he wears?
In our winter city - the rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero - and a world that doesn’t care
CHORUS:
So how can you tell me - you’re lo-one-ly
And say for you that the sun don’t shine?
Let me take you by the hand
and lead you through the streets of London
Show you something - to make you change your mind

Hi Marco, thanks for this cover. I like it very much. Could you post a drawing of the arpeggio, that would be helpful for me instead of the numbers. Once again, thanks and keep strumming. Cheers from Berlin.

Hm, I'll try. We'll see how this goes. Here's what the tab would look like if you're playing a C chord:
|3 -- -- --|2 -- -- --|
|-- -- 0 --|-- -- 0 --|
|-- 0 -- 0|-- 0 -- 0|
|0 -- -- --|-- -- -- --|
... and I hope that helps. Good luck - and have fun playing!
