Artist: The Decemberists Song: The Chimbley Sweep Credit to Wrynn.CZ for the corrected chords. Standard tuning, Capo 4 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."
