C G
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Em Am
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
C G
All mimsey were the borogroves
Em Am
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Am C
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
Dm G
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Am C
Beware the Jubjubb bird, and shun
Dm G
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
C G
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Em Am
Long time the manxome foe he sought
C G
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
Em Am
And stood awhile in thought.
Am C
And as in uffish thought he stood,
Dm G
The Jabberwock with eyes if flame
Am C
Came whiffling through the tulgeywood
Dm G
And burbled as it came.
C G
One, two! One, two! And through and through
Em Am
The vorpal blade went sniker-snack!
C G
He left it dead, and with its head
Em Am
He went galumphing back.
Am C
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Dm G
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Am C
O frabjous day! Callooy, callay!"
Dm G
He chortled in his joy.
C G
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Em Am
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
C G
All mimsey were the borogroves
Em Am
And the mome raths outgrabe.
