>From the movie: "Mary Poppins" by Walt Disney
Music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman
Intro:  Cm  G7/9  Cm6   G7   Cm   G7-9   Cm6  G7  
             Cm  G+                        Cm7  F  
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheree! 
A Fmsweep is as Cmlucky, as Dlucky D7-5can G7be. 
             Cm  G+                        Cm7  F  
Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheroo! 
Good Fmluck will rub Cmoff when I G7shake G7+'ands with Cmyou, 
Or Fmblow me a Cmkiss and G7that's lucky Cmtoo.
         Cm  G+                   Cm7  F  
Now as the ladder of life 'as been strung, 
you Fmmay think a Cmsweep's on the Dbottom D7-5most rG7ung. 
                 Cm  G+                  Cm7  F  
Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke, 
                Fm                 Cm    G7  G+   G7  Cm  
in this 'ole wide world there's no happier bloke.
           Cm  G+                     Cm7  F  
Up where the smoke is all billered and curled, 
'Tween Fmpavement and Cmstars, 
              D    D7-5      G7  G+
is the chimney sweep world. 
           G7          Cm  G+             Cm7  F  
When there's 'ardly no day nor hardly no night, 
                     Fm           Cm   G7  G+      G7  Cm  
there's things'alf in shadow and 'alfway in light, 
On the Fmrooftops of CmLondon, G7coo, what a Cmsight!
2. Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cheree! 
When you're with a sweep you're in glad company. 
Nowhere is there a more 'appier crew 
Than them what sings "chim chim cheree, chim cheroo!"
Chim chiminey chim chim, cheree chim cheeroo!
I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do: 
A broom for the shaft and a brush for the flue.
Tough I'm covered with soot from the 'ead to me toes,
A sweep knows 'es welcome wherever he goes.
Up where the smoke is all billered and curled, 
'Tween pavement and stars, 
is the chimney sweep world. 
When there's hardly no day nor hardly no night, 
there's things half in shadow and halfway in light, 
On the rooftops of London, coo, what a sight!
