       D5              G5
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall,
        D5              A5
chimney sweep, chimney sweep
       D5              G5
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall,
        D5
chimney sweep
       G5   
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall,
         D5                     A5
and I've robbed both great and small
       D5                 G5
And me neck will pay for all,
       D5           A5
when I die, when I die
       D5                 G5
And me neck will pay for all,
       D5
when I die

       D5                G5
I have twenty pounds in store,
           D5               A5
that's not all, that's not all
       D5                G5
I have twenty pounds in store,
           D5
that's not all
       G5
I have twenty pounds in store,
        D5              A5
and I'd rob for twenty more
        D5                  G5
For the rich must help the poor,
        D5          A5
so must I, so must I
        D5                  G5
For the rich must help the poor,
        D5
so must I

         D5              G5
Oh, they took me to Coothill,
     D5          A5
in a cart, in a cart
         D5              G5
Oh, they took me to Coothill,
     D5
in a cart
         G5
Oh, they took me to Coothill,
        D5                  A5
where I stopped to make my will
        D5                    G5
For the best of friends must part,
        D5          A5
so must I, so must I
        D5                    G5
For the best of friends must part,
        D5
so must I

       D5            G5
Up the ladder I did grope,
          D5               A5
that's no joke, that's no joke
       D5            G5
Up the ladder I did grope,
          D5
that's no joke
       G5
Up the ladder I did grope,
        D5                     A5   
and the hangman he pulled his rope
    D5              G5
But ne'ar a word I spoke,
         D5              A5
tumbling down, tumbling down
    D5              G5
But ne'ar a word I spoke,
         D5
tumbling down

       D5              G5
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall,
        D5              A5
chimney sweep, chimney sweep
       D5              G5
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall,
        D5
chimney sweep
       G5   
Oh, me name it is Sam Hall,
         D5                     A5
and I've robbed both great and small
       D5                 G5
And me neck will pay for all,
       D5           A5
when I die, when I die
       D5                 G5
And me neck will pay for all,
       D5
when I die
