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 C Dm
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
A# A G F
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
Dm C Dm
All mimsey were the borogroves
A# A
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Dm C Dm
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
A# A G F
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Dm C Dm
Beware the Jubjubb bird, and shun
A# A
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

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