[Verse]

G                          C  
Well my name it is Sam Hall, 
        G              D
chimney sweep, chimney sweep
       Em                C  
Yes my name it is Sam Hall, 
        G
chimney sweep
        C                    
Well my name it is Sam Hall, 
         G                     D
and I've robbed both great and small
       Em                   C 
And my neck will pay for all, 
       G           D
when I die, when I die
       Em                   C        G
Yes my neck will pay for all, when I die
 
 
[Verse]

                           C  
I've got 20 pounds in store, 
           G               D
that's not all, that's not all
         Em                C            G
I've got 20 pounds in store, that's not all
         C                
I've got 20 pounds in store, 
         G                 D
and I'll rob for twenty more
        Em                     C  
For the rich must help the poor, 
        G          D
so must I, so must I
        Em                     C 
Yes the rich must help the poor, 
        G
so must I
 
 
[Verse]

                    
And they took me to 
          C     G          D
Coote Hill in a cart, in a cart
         Em                   C     G
Yes they took me to Coote Hill in a cart
          C                      
Well they took me to Coote Hill,  
           G                     D
and that's where I wrote my will 
        Em                       C  
For the best of friends must part, 
        G          D
so must I, so must I
        Em                       C         G
And the best of friends must part, so must I

[Verse]

       G                 C 
Up the ladder I did grope, 
          G               D
that's no joke, that's no joke
       Em                C 
Up the ladder I did grope, 
          G
that's no joke
        G                
Up the ladder I did grope, 
        G                  D
and the hangman pulled the rope
         Em                  C  
Oh, twas ne'er a word I spoke, 
         G              D
tumblin' down, tumblin' down
         Em                  C          G
Oh, twas ne'er a word I spoke, tumblin' down
 
 
[Verse]

                            C
Well, my name it is Sam Hall, 
        G              D
chimney sweep, chimney sweep
       Em                 C         G
Yes my name it is Sam Hall, chimney sweep
        C                    
Well my name it is Sam Hall, 
      G                D
and I hate you one and all
         Em                  C 
You're a bunch of muggers all, 
          G               D
dang your eyes, dang your eyes 
         Em                  C  
You're a bunch of muggers all, 
          G
dang your eyes
