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