C G
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
em am
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
C G
All mimsey were the borogroves
em am
And the mome raths outgrabe.

am C
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
Dm G
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
am C
Beware the Jubjubb bird, and shun
Dm G
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

C G
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
em am
Long time the manxome foe he sought
C G
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
em am
And stood awhile in thought.

am C
And as in uffish thought he stood,
Dm G
The Jabberwock with eyes if flame
am C
Came whiffling through the tulgeywood
Dm G
And burbled as it came.

C G
One, two! One, two! And through and through
em am
The vorpal blade went sniker-snack!
C G
He left it dead, and with its head
em am
He went galumphing back.

am C
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Dm G
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
am C
O frabjous day! Callooy, callay!"
Dm G
He chortled in his joy.

C G
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
em am
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
C G
All mimsey were the borogroves
em am
And the mome raths outgrabe.
