Eb Abm Abm I Am A chimbley Eb A chimbley sweep Db No bed to lie Db Abm No shoes to hold my feet On the rooftop Eb In dead of night Db You hear me cry Abm I'll shake you from your sleep F# Hear me weep B E Your day will come in peace Abm B E Db For I am a poor and a wretched boy Abm Eb Abm A chimbley, chimbley sweep I am an orphan An orphan boy I know no love I see no mother joy A dirty doorstep My cradle lay My fortune made I'll shake you from your sleep Hear me weep Your day will come in peace For I am a poor and a wretched boy A chimbley, chimbley sweep A lonely urchin The widow cried I've not been spoiled Since the day my husband died Her cheeks are blushing Her legs lay bare And shipwrecked there I'll shake you from your sleep Hear me weep Your day will come indeed Chorus 2x: For I am a poor and a wretched boy A chimbley, chimbley sweep
