CAPO ON 3RD FRET

The chords are the same for the verses and choruses so just repeat the chords from 
the initial chorus all the way through, missing off the [Dm Am E Am] repeat on 
verse 1 and chorus 2

Intro: Am Dm Am Dm

CHORUS 1

Am                       C
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey 
Am                    D
Chim chim cher-ee!
Dm                Am         B7            E
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Am                        C
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey 
Am                     D
Chim chim cher-oo!
Dm                       Am          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

Dm Am Dm

VERSE 1

Now, as the ladder of life 'as been strung
You might think a sweep's on the bottommost rung 
Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke 
In this 'ole wide world there's no 'appier bloke

CHORUS 2 

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey 
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey 
Chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you

VERSE 2

Up where the smoke is all billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world
When there's 'ardly no day nor 'ardly no night
There's things 'alf in shadow and 'alfway in light
On the rooftops of London coo, what a sight!

CHORUS 3

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey 
Chim chim cher-ee!
When you're with a sweep you're in glad company 
Nowhere is there a more 'appier crew
Than them wot sings, "Chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo!" 
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee, chim cher-oo!
