Intro: C G Am Em F C G C Verse: C G Am Em Have you seen the old man, in the closed-down market F C D7 G7 picking up the papers, 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 papers, telling yesterday's news Chorus: C F Em C G Am So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly D7 D7 G G7 and 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 C I'll show you something, to make you change your mind Verse: 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: C F Em C G Am So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly D7 D7 G G7 and 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 C I'll show you something, to make you change your mind Verse: C G Am Em And in the all-night cafe, at a quarter past eleven F C D7 G7 some old man sitting there, all on his own C G Am Em Looking at the world, over the rim of his tea-cup F C G7 C Each day lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone Chorus: C F Em C G Am So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly D7 D7 G G7 and 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 C I'll show you something, to make you change your mind Verse: C G Am Em And have you seen the old man, outside the seaman's mission? F C D7 G7 His memory's fading, with those medal ribbons that he wears C G Am Em And in our winter city, the rain cries little pity F C G7 C For one more forgotten hero, and a world that doesn't care Chorus: C F Em C G Am So how can you tell me, you're lo - ne - ly D7 D7 G G7 and 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 C I'll show you something, to make you change your mind F C G C I'll show you something, to make you change your mind This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

Amazing song, but it’s not “each day lasts an hour” it’s “each tea lasts an hour”.
The picking pattern I use is C E G A. Sounds right to me
