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