                                F#m Bm —
Attend the tale of Sweeny Todd.
His skin was pale and his eye was odd.
   F#5   —    C#5   —  B5  — A5 —
He shaved the faces of gentlemen
    G#5   —    F#5    —   E5      
Who never thereafter were heard of again.
Em
He trod a path that few have trod,
Em                   A5 —  G#5    —  F#5
Did Sweeny Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

F#m Bm
                              F#m Bm —
He kept a shop in London Town
Of fancy clients and good renown.
    F#5  —  C#5      —    B5    —    A5 —
And what if none of their souls were saved?
     G#5     —     F#5  —  E5    
They went to their maker impeccably shaved 
By Sweeny, By Sweeny Todd, 
    A5 —  G#5    —  F#5
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

F#m Bm

F#5                    C5
Swing your razor wide, Sweeny,
Hold it to the skies!
F#5  — C#5   —   B5  —    D5 —
Freely flows the blood of those 
G#5
who moralize.

F#m Bm
                                     F#m Bm —
His need were few, his room was bare:
a lavabo and a fancy chair,
  F#5 —  C#5   —    B5  —   A5 —
A mug of suds and a leather strop,
   G#5  —   F#5  —   E5      
An apron, a towel, a pail and a mop.
Em
For neatness, he deserves a nod.
Em                     A5 —  G#5    —  F#5

In conspicuous Sweeny was,

Sweeny would blink and rats would scuttle.
Sweeny was smooth, Sweeny was subtle,
Sweeny would blink and rats would scuttle.

Sweeny would blink and rats would scuttle.
