Gm Gmmaj7 Gm7 C
I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do,

A broom for the shaft, and a brush for the flue,

verse 3
G#m G#mmaj7 G#m7 C#
Up where the smoke is all billered and curled,
C#m G#m A# A#7 D#7
'Tween pavement and stars, is the chimney sweep world,
G#m G#mmaj7 G#m7 C#
When there's hardly no day, nor hardly no night,
C#m G#m Gdim G#m
There's things ...half in shadow, ...and halfway in light,
C#m G#m Gdim
On the rooftops of London, coo, ...what a sight!
