Standard tuning, Capo 4

E minorEm         B7B7
I am a chimbley, a chimbley sweep
A minorAm
No bed to lie, no shoes to hold my feet
E minorEm          B7B7
Upon the rooftops in dead of night
A minorAm                      E minorEm
You'll hear me cry, I'll shake you from your sleep
      G+G
To hear me weep
   D MajorD        C majorC
"Your day will come indeed
E minorEm     G+G     C majorC    A minorAm
For I am a poor and a wretched boy
 E minorEm    B7B7    E minorEm
A augmentedA chimbley chimbley sweep."

E minorEm       B7B7
I am an orphan, an orphan boy
A minorAm
I've known no love, I've seen no mother's joy
E minorEm        B7B7
A augmentedA dirty doorstep my cradle laid
A minorAm                     E minorEm
My fortune's made: I'll shake you from your sleep
      G+G
To hear me weep
   D MajorD        C majorC
"Your day will come indeed.
E minorEm     G+G     C majorC    A minorAm
For I am a poor and a wretched boy
 E minorEm    B7B7    E minorEm
A augmentedA chimbley chimbley sweep."


 E minorEm        B7B7
"O lonely urchin!" the widow cried
 A minorAm
"I've not been swept since the day my husband died."
E minorEm             B7B7
Her cheeks a blushing, her legs laid bare
A minorAm                       E minorEm
And shipwrecked there I'll shake you from your sleep
      G+G
To hear me weep
   D MajorD        C majorC
"Your day will come indeed.
E minorEm     G+G     C majorC    A minorAm
For I am a poor and a wretched boy
 E minorEm    B7B7    E minorEm
A augmentedA chimbley chimbley sweep."
E minorEm     G+G     C majorC    A minorAm
For I am a poor and a wretched boy
 E minorEm    B7B7    E minorEm
A augmentedA chimbley chimbley sweep."
