When I’m Cleaning Windows — Ukulele chords
How could I come this far with the blog and not put up a George Formby song?
Yes, yes I know, its a cliche, but be honest, if you have a uke, are you honestly telling me you havent considered it.? I love playing this — it looks easy, and it really is just two repeating patterns, but it can play quite fast, and you need to get the rhythm right. Have fun missus!
(keep an eye on the blog, as I will be doing a bit of a bio on George Formby in weeks to come. )

When I’m Cleaning Windows
I go window cleaning to earn an honest bob.
For a nosey parker it’s an interesting job
[F]Now it’s a job that [F7] just suits me,
[Bb] A window cleaner [G7] you will be.
If [F] you could see what [D7] I can see
[Db7] When I’m cleaning [F] windows.
[F] The honeymooning [F7] couples too,
[Bb] You should see them [G7] bill and coo.
You’d [F] be surprised at [D7] things they do
[Db7] When I’m cleaning [F] windows.
[A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7] but I’ll never stop.
[G7] I’ll climb this blinking ladder [C] ’til I get right to the [C7] top.
[F] The blushing bride she [F7] looks divine,
The [Bb] bridegroom he is [G7] doing fine
I’d [F] rather have his [D7] job than mine
[Db7] When I’m cleaning [F] windows.
[F] The chambermaid sweet [F7] names I call,
It’s a [Bb] wonder [G7] I don’t fall.
My [F]minds not on my [D7] work at all
[Db7] When I’m cleaning [F] windows
[F] I know a fellow [F7] such a swell,
He has a [Bb] thirst it’s [G7] plain to tell.
I’ve [F] seen him drink his [D7] bath as well
[Db7] When I’m cleaning [F] windows
[A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7] but I’ll never stop.
[G7] I’ll climb this blinking ladder [C] ’til I get right to the [C7] top.
[F] Pyjamas lying [F7] side by side
[Bb] ladies nighties [G7]I have spied.
I’ve [F] often seen what [D7] goes inside,
[Db7] when I’m cleaning [F] windows.
[F] There’s a famous [F7] talkie queen,
[Bb] looks a flapper [G7] on the screen.
She’s [F] more like eighty [D7 ]than eighteen
[Db7] When I’m cleaning [F] windows.
[F] She pulls her hair all [F7] down behind,
Then [Bb] pulls down her, [G7] never mind
After [F] that pulls [D7] down the blind
[Db7] When I’m cleaning [F] windows.
[A7] In my profession I work hard, [D7] but I’ll never stop.
[G7] I’ll climb this blinking ladder [C]’til I get right to the [C7] top.
[F]At eight o’clock a [F7] girl she wakes,
[Bb] At five past eight a [G7] bath she takes.
[Db7]When I’m cleaning [F] windows.
