Am           Am/G# Am/G        Am/F#     
Winds in the east, mist comin’ in, 

     Am/F         Am/E    B7/D#      E
like something is brewin’ about to begin

Am           Am/G#     Am/G          Am/F# 
Can’t put me finger on what lies in store,  

      Am/F           Am/E        E           Am
but I feel what’s to happen, all happened before
[2. The Pavement-Artist]

Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-oo!

  Am/F         Am/E        B7/D#        E
I does what I likes, and I likes what I do

Today I'm a screever, and as you can see

A screever's an artist of 'ighest degree

    Dm          Am               E       Am
And it's all me own work from me own memory

Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-oo!

No remuneration do I ask of you

       Am/F         Am/E      E         Am
But me cap would be glad of a copper or two

   Dm           Am        E         Am
Me cap would be glad of a copper or two
[3. The chimney sweep]

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee,

a sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be

     Am/F          Am/E       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

Am          Am/G#      Am/G         Am/F#   
Now, as the ladder of life 'as been strung, 

    Am/F           Am/E           B7/D#       E
you might think a sweep's on the bottommost rung

Am              Am/G#           Am/G      Am/F# 
Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke, 

   Am/F           Am/E             E       Am
in this 'ole wide world there's no 'appier bloke

Am                Am/G#           Am/G           Am/F#  
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee,   

  Am/F        Am/E      B7/D#     E
a sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be

Am               Am/G#            Am/G           Am/F# 
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-oo, 

     Am/F          Am/E       E                 Am
good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you

Am          Am/G#         Am/G          Am/F# 
I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do,    

  Am/F          Am/E        B7/D#         E
a broom for the shaft and a brush for the flue
[4. Reprise]
Am           Am/G#        Am/G         Am/F#   
Up where the smoke is all billered and curled, 

       Am/F         Am/E         B7/D#         E
'tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world

             Am        Am/G#   Am/G      Am/F#  
When there's 'ardly no day nor 'ardly no night, 

        Am/F           Am/E       E          Am
there's things 'alf in shadow and 'alfway in light,

       Dm          Am         E          Am
on the rooftops of London....coo, what a sight.

Am               Am/G#            Am/G           Am/F#
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee, 

     Am/F          Am/E            B7/D#      E
when you're with a sweep you're in glad company

Am         Am/G#         Am/G   Am/F# 
Nowhere is there a more 'appier crew, 

     Am/F           Am/E           E             Am
than them wot sings chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo!

Dm               Am               E7            Am
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim - cher-ee, chim cher-oo!
