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 .
