[Intro]
[C] [G] [Am] [Em] [F] [C] [G] [C]
 
[Verse1]
[C]Have you seen the [G]old man in the [Am]closed-down [Em]market
[F]Kicking up the [C]paper with his [D7]worn-out [G7]shoes?
[C]In his eyes you [G]see no pride, [Am]hand held loosely [Em]at his side
[F] Yesterday's [C]paper telling [G7]yesterday's [C]news [C]
 
[Chorus]
So [F]how can you [Em]tell me you're [C]lo - ne - [Am]ly
[D7] And say for you that the sun don[G]don't shin[G7]shine?
[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
 
[Instrumental]
[C] [G] [Am] [G]
[Verse2]
[C]Have you seen the [G]old gal who [Am]walks the streets of [Em]London
[F]Dirt in her [C]hair and her [F]clothes in [G7]rags?
[C]She's no time for [G]talking, she [Am]just keeps right on [Em]walking
[F]Carrying her [C]home in [G7]two carrier [C]bags [C]
 
[Chorus]
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
 
[Instrumental]
[C] [G] [Am] [Em] [F] [C] [G] [C]
 
[Verse3]
[C]In the all-night [G]cafe at a [Am]quarter past e[Em]eleven
[F]Same old [C]man sitting [F]there on his [G7]own
[C]Looking at the [G]world over the [Am]rim of his [Em]tea-cup
[F]Each tea lasts an [C]hour, then he [G7]wanders home a[C]alone [C]
 
[Chorus]
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
 
[Instrumental]
[C] [G] [Am] [G]
[Verse4]
[C]Have you seen the [G]old man out[Am]outside the seaman's [Em]mission?
[F]Memory fading [C]with the medal [F]ribbons that he[G7]he wears
And [C]in our winter [G]city the rain [Am]cries a little [Em]pity
For [F]one more forgotten [C]hero and a [G7]world that doesn't [C]care [C]
 
[Chorus]
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]
