[Intro] E7 Am
Am
I am a chimbley

   E7
a chimbley sweep

     D7
No bed to lie

                             Am
no shoes to hold my feet
Upon the rooftops
     E7
in dead of night

          D7
You'll hear me cry

                                   Am
I'll shake you from your sleep

              C
Hear me weep

G                             F
your day will come in peace

Am           C            F            D7
For I am a poor and a wretched boy

    Am         E7            Am
A chimbley chimbley sweep

Am
I am an orphan

     E7
an orphan boy

       D7
I've known no love

                             Am
I've seen no mother's joy
a dirty doorstep
      E7
my cradle laid

       D7
my fortune's made

                                  Am
I'll shake you from your sleep

              C
Hear me weep

G                              F
your day will come in peace

Am           C            F            D7
For I am a poor and a wretched boy

    Am         E7            Am
A chimbley chimbley sweep

Am
Oh lonely urchin

       E7
the widow cried

      D7
i've not been swept

                                      Am
since the day my husband died
her cheeks a-blushing
      E7
her legs laid bare

       D7
and shipwrecked there

                                   Am
I'll shake you from your sleep

              C
Hear me weep

G                              F
your day will come in peace

Am           C            F            D7
For I am a poor and a wretched boy

    Am         E7            Am
A chimbley chimbley sweep

Am           C            F             D7
For I am a poor and a wretched boy

    Am         E7            Am
A chimbley chimbley sweep
