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