CAPO ON 3RD FRET (optional - use your own personal preference but I use capo 3)
The chords are the same for the verses and choruses so just repeat the chords from
the initial chorus all the way through, missing off the [Dm Am E Am] repeat on
verse 1 and chorus 2
Intro: Am Dm Am Dm
CHORUS 1
Am C
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Am D
Chim chim cher-ee!
Dm Am B7 E
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Am C
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Am D
Chim chim cher-oo!
Dm Am E Am
Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you
Dm Am E Am
Or blow me a kiss and that's lucky too
Dm Am Dm
VERSE 1
Now, as the ladder of life 'as been strung
You might think a sweep's on the bottommost rung
Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke
In this 'ole wide world there's no 'appier bloke
CHORUS 2
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you
VERSE 2
Up where the smoke is all billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world
When there's 'ardly no day nor 'ardly no night
There's things 'alf in shadow and 'alfway in light
On the rooftops of London coo, what a sight!
CHORUS 3
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-ee!
When you're with a sweep you're in glad company
Nowhere is there a more 'appier crew
Than them wot sings, "Chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo!"
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo!
