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!

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

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!

      Dm             Am              B     B7    E7
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!'
