[Am][F][Am][F][Am][F]
[Dm]I

[Verse 1]
[Am]wouldn't want to [F]be [Am]a chimney [Dm]sweep
[F]All black from head to [Am]foot[F]
From climb[Am]ing [Dm]in them ch[C]imneys
And [Am]cleaning out that [E]soot
With a broom and ladder [F]and [E]pail
The darkened walls I scale
And far and high I [F]see a patch of
sky
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Am][Dm]
I'd [Am]rather be the gypsy
[Dm](I'd rather be the gypsy)
Whose [Am]camped at the [F]edge
of [Am]town
(Camped at the [F]edge of town)
[Am]The one who [Dm]has the [Am]dancing bear
[C]That follows him aro[Am]und[E]
And he lifts his big foot up
He puts his big foot down
And bows and twirls
And dances 'round and [Am]'round[F][Am][F]

[Verse 3]
I [Am]found [F]I was a cabi[Am]n bo[Dm]y
Last [F]night as I did [Am]dream[F]
[Am]Bound [Dm]upon a [C]magic ship
For a [Am]land I'd nev[E]er seen
And the moon she filled our [Am]sails
[E]And the stars they steered
out [Am]course
[E]And on our bow there was a golden
[Am]hors[Dm]e[Am][F]

[Verse 4]
The [F]queen eats fruit and [Dm]candy[Am]
The [F]bish[Am]op n[Dm]uts an d che[Am]ese
And [F]when I am [C]a grown man
I'll taste [Am]just what I [E]please
The honey from the bee
The shellfish from the sea
The earth, the wind, a girl
Someone [F]to share these [E]things with [Am]me[F]

[Verse 5]
I [Am]wouldn't want to [F]be
[Am]a chimney [Dm]sweep
All black from head [F]to[Am]
[E]foo[Am]t[F]
From [Am]climb[C]ing in [Am]them chimneys
[Dm]And [Am]cleaning o[F]ut[Am]
that [F]soot
I'd rather be the [Am]gypsy[Dm]
Whose [C]camped at the edge of [F]town
The [Am]one [C]who has[Am][F]
[Am]the dancing bear

[Outro 1]
That follows him around
[Am][Am][Am]
[Am][C][C][C][C][G]
