V1:
Am Em
And he sets down his plastic bag
Am Em
Amongst the rubbish and shite
Am Em
He ties up his hooded top
G D Em
And puts his head down for the night
V2:
But he'll be lucky if he gets any sleep
Because the sirens tend to moan
And the old man lying across from him
Is as cold as fuckin stone
Refrain: C|Em x3 G|D|Am x1
V3:
All he needs is a little love
And a cup of tea to keep him warm
But sure as day we all walk past
We'll never notice when he's gone
V4:
He was once a bright young boy
With the whole world at his feet
But circumstance has let him down
And now he's on the street
V5:
C Em
Street life isn't easy
C Em
It's no fun being all alone
C Em
We should think of that when we're walking past
G D Am
And he's lying cold as stone
Refrain to fade
