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