VERSE:
[C]Have you seen the [G]old man, [Am]in the closed-down [Em]market
[F]picking up the [C]papers, with his [D7]worn-out [G7]shoes?
[C]In his eyes you [G]see no pride, [Am]and held loosely [Em]by his side

CHORUS:
[C]So [F]how can you [Em]tell me, you're [C]lo - ne - [Am]ly

London
[F]I'll show you [C]something, to [G7]make you change your [C]mind [C]
VERSE
[C]Have you seen the [G]old gal [Am]who walks the streets of [Em]London
[F]Dirt in her [C]hair and her [D7]clothes in [G7]rags
[C]She's no time [G]for talkin, [Am]she just keeps [Em]right on walkin
[F]Carryin her [C]home in two big [G7]shopping [C]bags
[C]And in the all-[G]night cafe, [Am]at a quarter past [Em]eleven
[F]same old man [C]sitting there, all [D7]on his [G7]own
[C]Looking at the [G]world, over the [Am]rim of his tea-[Em]cup
[F]Each day lasts [C]an hour, then he [D7]wanders [G7]home alone
CHORUS
[C] So [F]how can you [Em]tell me, you're [C]lo - ne - [Am]ly

VERSE
[C]And have you seen [G]the old [Am]man, outside the [Em]seaman's mission?
[F]His memory's [C]fading, with those [D7]medal [G7]ribbons that he wears
[C]And in our winter [G]city, the [Am]rain cries little [Em]pity
[F]For one more [C]forgotten hero, and [D7]a world [G7]that doesn't care
CHORUS
[C] So [F]how can you [Em]tell me, you're [C]lo - ne - [Am]ly
[D7] and say for [D7]you that the sun don't [G]shine? [G7]
[C]Let me take you [G]by the hand, and [Am]lead you through the [Em]streets of
London
[F] I'll show you [C]something, to [G7]make you change your [C]mind [C]
