 Am              Ammaj7 
Chim - chiminey!  Chim - chiminey! 
Am7                 D 
Chim  -chim -che - ree! 
   Dm           Am        B   B7  E7 
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be, 
 Am              Ammaj7 
Chim - chiminey!  Chim - chiminey!

Chim -chim -che - roo! 
      Dm           Am            E7              Am 
Good luck will rub off, when I shakes hands with you, 
    Dm       Am/C         E7/B         Am   Dm6   Am  Dm6 
Or blow me a kiss, ...and that's lucky too! 



verse 1 

Am          Ammaj7     Am7            D 
Now, as the ladder of life has been strung, 
    Dm            Am             B    B7    E7 
You may think a sweep's on the bottom most rung, 
       Am          Ammaj7       Am7        D 
Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke, 
    Dm             Am/C              E7/B    Am 
In this whole wide world there's no happier bloke! 

 Am             Ammaj7 
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey! 
Am7                 D 
Chim  -chim -che - ree! 
   Dm          Am         B   B7  E7 
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be, 
 Am             Ammaj7 
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey! 
Am7                D 
Chim -chim -che - roo! 
      Dm           Am/C         E7/B             Am 
Good luck will rub off, when I shakes hands with you! 

 Am             Ammaj7 
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey! 
Am7                 D 
Chim  -chim -che - ree! 
   Dm          Am         B   B7  E7 
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be, 
 Am             Ammaj7 
Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey! 
Am7                D 
Chim -chim -che - roo! 
      Dm           Am/C         E7/B             Am 
Good luck will rub off, when I shakes hands with you!

verse 2 
Gm            Gmmaj7       Gm7           C 
 I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do, 
   Cm           Gm            A    A7      D7 
A broom for the shaft, and a brush for the flue, 

  Gm         Gmmaj7       Gm7          C 

  C#m         G#m        D#7/A#       G#m 

verse 3 
G#m          G#mmaj7        G#m7          C# 
 Up where the smoke is all billered and curled, 
         C#m         G#m            A#     A#7   D#7 
'Tween pavement and stars, is the chimney sweep world, 
              G#m     G#mmaj7    G#m7      C# 
When there's hardly no day, nor hardly no night, 
         C#m               G#m   Gdim                 G#m 
There's things ...half in shadow,   ...and halfway in light, 
         C#m        G#m    Gdim 
On the rooftops of London, coo, ...what a sight!

When you're with a sweep, you're in glad compan - y, 
 Am        Ammaj7         Am7    D 
Nowhere is there a more happier crew, 
      A#               Am/C              E7              Am 
Than them what sings, 'Chim -chim -che - ree! Chim -che -roo!'
