[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am Em Am Em
I wouldn't want to be a chimney sweep all black from head to foot
Am C Am E
From climbing in them chimneys and cleaning out that soot
E Dm E E Dm E
With a broom and ladder and pail, the darkened walls I scale,
Dm E Dm E Dm Am E Am E Am
And far, and high, I see a patch of sky.
[Chorus]
Am Em Am Em
I'd rather be the gypsy who's camped at the edge of town,
Am C Am E
The one who has the dancing bear that follows him around.
E Dm E E Dm E
And he lifts his big foot up, and he puts his big foot down,
Dm E Dm E Dm Am E Am E Am
And bows, and twirls, and dances 'round and 'round.
[Verse 2]
Am Em Am Em
I found I was a cabin boy last night as I did dream.
Am C Am E
Bound upon a magic ship for a land I'd never seen.
E Dm E E Dm E
And the moon she filled our sails, and the stars they steered our course
Dm E Dm E Dm Am E Am E Am
And on our bow there was a golden horse.
[Verse 3]
Am Em Am Em
The queen eats sugar candy, the bishop, nuts and cheese.
Am C Am E
And when I am a grown man, I'll taste just what I please;
E Dm E E Dm E
The honey from the bee, the shellfish from the sea,
E Am E Dm Am E Am E Am
The earth, the wind a girl, someone to share these things with me.
[Chorus]
