Artist: The Decemberists Song: The Chimbley Sweep Credit to Wrynn.CZ for the corrected chords.
Em                 B7 
I am a chimbley, a chimbley sweep

Am
No bed to lie, no shoes to hold my feet

Em                   B7
Upon the rooftops in dead of night

Am                                           Em
You’ll hear me cry, I’ll shake you from your sleep

           G
To hear me weep

      D               C
"Your day will come indeed

Em         G          C        Am
For I am a poor and a wretched boy

  Em       B7       Em
A chimbley chimbley sweep."

Em              B7
I am an orphan, an orphan boy

Am
I’ve known no love, I’ve seen no mother’s joy

Em               B7
A dirty doorstep my cradle laid

Am                                          Em
My fortune's made: I’ll shake you from your sleep

           G
To hear me weep

      D               C
"Your day will come indeed.

Em         G          C        Am
For I am a poor and a wretched boy

  Em       B7       Em
A chimbley chimbley sweep."

 Em                B7
"O lonely urchin!" the widow cried

 Am
"I’ve not been swept since the day my husband died."

Em                         B7
Her cheeks a blushing, her legs laid bare

Am                                             Em
And shipwrecked there I’ll shake you from your sleep

           G
To hear me weep

      D               C
"Your day will come indeed.

Em         G          C        Am
For I am a poor and a wretched boy

  Em       B7       Em
A chimbley chimbley sweep."

Em         G          C        Am
For I am a poor and a wretched boy

  Em       B7       Em
A chimbley chimbley sweep."
