Jabberwocky Donovan
I made this because I think the other version is all weird and doesn't sound right,
except for maybe the tabs. But I came here looking for chords, so apart from complaining,
this is my interpretation. Correct me if I'm wrong!
I strum along to the words, and just play a bit with up- and downstrokes. Listen to the
song a bit and you'll find that this is generally where the chords are at. These Chords
are basically the same troughout the whole song.
[Dm]'Twas brillig, and the s[C]lithy to[Dm]ves
Did [A#]gyre and g[A]imble in[G] the w[F]abe.
[Dm]All mimsey were the boro[C]groves[Dm]
And the mo[A#]me raths outgrabe.[A]
[Dm]"Beware the Jabberwock, [C]my son![Dm]
The [A#]jaws that [A]bite, th[G]e claw[F]s that catch!
[Dm]Beware the Jubjubb bird,[C] and shu[Dm]n
The frumio[A#]us Bandersnatch!"[A]

[Dm]He took his vorpal sword[C] in hand[Dm]:
Long[A#] time the [A]manxome [G]foe he[F] sought
[Dm]So rested he by the Tumt[C]um tree,[Dm]
And stood [A#]awhile in thought.[A]
[Dm]And as in uffish thought[C] he stoo[Dm]d,
The [A#]Jabberwock[A] with ey[G]es if [F]flame
[Dm]Came whiffling through t[C]he tulge[Dm]ywood
And burble[A#]d as it came.[A]
[Dm]One, two! One, two! And [C]through [Dm]and through
The [A#]vorpal bla[A]de went [G]sniker[F]-snack!
[Dm]He left it dead, and wit[C]h its he[Dm]ad
He went ga[A#]lumphing back.[A]
[Dm]"And hast thou slain the[C] Jabberw[Dm]ock?
Come[A#] to my arm[A]s, my be[G]amish [F]boy!
[Dm]O frabjous day! Callooy,[C] callay![Dm]"
He chortle[A#]d in his joy.[A]
[Dm]'Twas brillig, and the s[C]lithy to[Dm]ves
Did [A#]gyre and g[A]imble in[G] the w[F]abe.
[Dm]All mimsey were the boro[C]groves[Dm]
And the mo[A#]me raths outgrabe.[A]
