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