F#m Bm
F#m Bm - Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd.
His skin was pale and his eye was odd.
F#5 - C#5 - B5 - A5 - He shaved the faces of gentlemen G#5 - F#5 - E5 Who never thereafter were heard of again. Em He trod a path that few have trod, Em A5 - G#5 - F#5 Did Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
F#m Bm
F#m Bm - He kept a shop in London Town
Of fancy clients and good renown.
F#5 - C#5 - B5 - A5 - And what if none of their souls were saved? G#5 - F#5 - E5 They went to their maker impeccably shaved
By Sweeney, by Sweeney Todd,
A5 - G#5 - F#5 The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
F#m Bm
F#5 C5 Swing your razor wide, Sweeney,
Hold it to the skies!
F#5 - C#5 - B5 - D5 - Freely flows the blood of those G#5 who moralize.
F#m Bm
F#m Bm - His need were few, his room was bare:
a lavabo and a fancy chair,
F#5 - C#5 - B5 - A5 - A mug of suds and a leather strop, G#5 - F#5 - E5 An apron, a towel, a pail and a mop. Em For neatness, he deserves a nod. Em A5 - G#5 - F#5 Does Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
F#m Bm
A D Inconspicuous Sweeny was, Am A Quick and quite and clean 'e was. Em Back of his smile, under his word,
Sweeney heard music that nobody heard.
Bb Gm Sweeney pondered and Sweeney planned, Fm Bb Like a perfect machine 'e planned Fm Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle,
Sweeney would blink and rats would scuttle.
Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle,
Sweeney would blink and rats would scuttle.
Sweeney was smooth, Sweeney was subtle,
Sweeney would blink and rats would scuttle.
Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney! Sweeney!
Gm Fm Sweeney! Fm Gbm Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd
He served a dark and a hungry god
Ab What happened then, well that's the play, and Gm He wouldn't want us to give it away. Fm Not Sweeney,
Not Sweeney Todd,
Bb5 G5 Fm The Demon Barber of Fleet Fm Street.
