D C9/D
I saw a man about 50 or so, he looked lonely but his eyes were bright
D C9/D
He was walking up Holland Park Road and I stopped him to ask for a light
D C9/D
He practically froze when I spoke but eased when he saw my cigarette
D C9/D

{Chorus}
Dm D7/C
With eyes full of shame for he knew that I knew
G/B G/C
He slumped to the wall with a moan
