	  		Intro 

Cm 
Sad old man nobody loves him 


Verse 
Cm            Fm              G#              D# 
Every morning I would see him sleeping in the dew 
   Cm            Fm             G 
He never noticed me as I passed by 
    Cm             Fm             G#                     D# 
I'd walk by slowly staring at the holes worn through his shoes 
Cm               Fm             G 
Wondering how he managed to get by 


Chorus 
Cm          Fm     Am 
Sad old man nobody loves him 
Cm      B       F           D# 
Sad old man has no place to stay 
    G#                     G#m 
And nothing to claim but a broken down park bench 
      A#                                   Gm 
And a newspaper blanket on a cold winter's day
 


Verse 
    Cm              Fm                G#             D# 
The afternoon would come; I'd see him begging by the square 
      Cm           Fm              G 
While I was in the crowd without a mind 
    Cm          Fm                 G#               D# 
And had I been alone, I would have told him someone cared 
       Cm             Fm             G 
But it never bothered him for he was blind 


Chorus 
Cm          Fm     Am 
Sad old man nobody loves him 
Cm      B       F           D# 
Sad old man has no place to stay 
    G#                     G#m 
And nothing to claim but a broken down park bench 
      A#                                   Gm 
And a newspaper blanket on a cold winter's day 


Outro 
Cm              Fm            Am 
Sad old man how long will you be here 
Cm      B       F            D# 
Sad old man how long can you stay 
    G#                              G#m 
For if you should leave who'll take care of the park bench 
        A#                                     Gm 
And the newspaper blanket would be left by the way
