I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Streets of London
By Ralph McTell
Rise Up Singing chapter: City, p.21
C G Am Em / F C D G / C G Am Em / F C G C
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market?
Kicking up the papers with his worn-out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride, hands held loosely at his sides
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
Chorus:
F Em G Am / D - G - / C G Am Em / F C G C
So how can you tell me you're lonely
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
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
More verses that I'll type up later.....
