Chim Chimeree - Dick Van Dyke
Intro:
Am Am
|Chorus 1:
|Am
| Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
|Am Dm
| Chim -chim -che - ree!
| Dm Am B7 E7
|A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be,
|Am
| Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
|Am Dm
| Chim -chim -che - roo!
| Dm Am E7 Am
|Good luck will rub off, when I shakes hands with you,
| Dm Am E7 Am
|Or blow me a kiss,...and that's lucky too
Verse 1:
Am Dm
Now, as the ladder of life has been strung,
Dm Am B7 E7
You may think a Sweep's on the bottom most rung,
Am Dm
Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke,
Dm Am E7 Am
In this whole wide world there's no happier bloke
|Chorus 2:
|Am
| Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
|Am Dm
| Chim -chim -che - ree!
| Dm Am B7 E7
|A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be,
|Am
| Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
|Am Dm
| Chim -chim -che - roo!
| Dm Am E7 Am
|Good luck will rub off, when I shakes hands with you
Verse 2:
Am Dm
Up where the smoke is all billowed and curled,
Dm Am B7 E7
'Tween pavement and stars, is the Chimney Sweep world,
Am Dm
When there's hardly no day, nor hardly no night,
Dm Am E7 Am
There's things ...half in shadow, ...and halfway in light,
Dm Am E7 Am
On the rooftops of London, cor, ...what a sight!
|Chorus 3:
|Am
| Chim - chiminey! Chim - chiminey!
|Am Dm
| Chim -chim -che - ree!
| Dm Am B7 E7
|When you're with a Sweep, you're in glad compan-y,
|Am Dm
| Nowhere is there a more happier crew,
| Am E7 Am
|Than them what sings, 'Chim -chim -che - ree! Chim -che -roo!'
Outro (Slowing):
Dm Am E7 Am
