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