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:

^CHave you seen the ^Gold man, ^Amin the closed-down ^Emmarket ^Fkicking up the ^Cpaper, with his w^D7orn-out s^G7hoes' ^CIn his eyes you ^Gsee no pride, ^Amand held loosely ^Emby his side ^Fyesterday's ^Cpaper, telling y^G7esterday's n^Cews

Chorus:

^FSo how can you ^Emtell me, you're ^Clo - ne - ^Amly ^D7 don't say for ^D7you that the sun don't sh^Gine' ^G7 ^CLet me take you ^Gby the hand, and ^Amlead you through the ^Emstreets of London ^F(there I'll) show you ^Csomething, to ^G7make you change your ^Cmind

Verse 2:

^CHave you seen the ^Gold gal, who w^Amalks the streets of L^Emondon ^Fdirt in her h^Cair, and her ^D7clothes in ^G7rags' ^CShe's no time for ^Gtalking, she j^Amust keeps right on ^Emwalking ^FCarrying her ^Chome, in two ^G7carrier ^Cbags

Chorus:

^FSo how can you ^Emtell me, you're ^Clo - ne - ^Amly ^D7 don't say for ^D7you that the sun don't ^Gshine' ^G7 ^CLet me take you ^Gby the hand, and ^Amlead you through the ^Emstreets of London ^F(there I'll) show you ^Csomething, to ^G7make you change your ^Cmind

Verse 3:

^CIn the all-night c^Gafe, at a ^Amquarter past el^Emeven ^Fsame old m^Can sitting t^D7here on his o^G7wn ^CLooking at the w^Gorld, over the ^Amrim of his t^Emea-cup ^FEach tea lasts an ^Chour, then he ^G7wanders home ^Calone

Chorus:

Verse 4:

^CHave you seen the ^Gold man, ^Amoutside the seaman's ^Emmission' ^Fmemory ^Cfading with the medal ^D7ribbons that he ^G7wears ^Cin our winter ci^Gty, the rain c^Amries a little p^Emity ^FFor one more forgotten ^Chero, and a w^G7orld that doesn't ^Ccare
