The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins

Leonard Nimoy


Tom: Bm

       C                          F
In the middle of the earth in the land of the shire
        G                           C
lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire
       C               G
With a long wood pipe fuzzy wuzzy toes
G                          C
Lives in a hobbit hole and everybody knows him

[Chorus]
F           D#
Bilbo Bilbo Bilbo Baggins
G#   A#         C
Only three feet tall
F           D#
Bilbo Bilbo Bilbo Baggins
G                             C
Bravest little hobbit of them all

[Verse 2]
    C                        F
Now hobbits are peace-loving folks you know
     G                            C
They don't like to hurry and they take things slow
     C                    G
They don't like to travel far away from
G                            C
They just want to eat and be left alone

[Verse 3]
    C#                F#
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
     G#                   C#
On a big adventure to the caves below
   C#                    G#
To help some dwarves get back their gold
G#                                 C#
That was stolen by a dragon in the days of old

[Chorus]
F#          E
Bilbo Bilbo Bilbo Baggins
A    B          C#
Only three feet tall
F#          E
Bilbo Bilbo Bilbo Baggins
G#                            C#
Bravest little hobbit of them all

[Bridge]
         C#                      D
Well he fought with the goblins he battled a troll
   D#                           E
He riddled with gollum a magic ring he stole
       F                 F#
He was chased by wolves lost in a forest
G                             G#
Escaped in a barrel from the Elf-King's halls

[Chorus]
F#             E
Bilbo Bilbo Bilbo Baggins
G#                            C#
Bravest little hobbit of them all

[Verse 4]
    C#                           F#
Now he's back in his hole in the land of the shire
     G#                   C#
That brave little hobbit whom we all admire
       C#                    G#
Just a-sitting on a treasure of silver and gold
G#                     C#
A-puffing on his pipe in his hobbit hole

[Chorus]
F#          E
Bilbo Bilbo Bilbo Baggins
A    B          C#
Only three feet tall
F#          E
Bilbo Bilbo Bilbo Baggins
G#                            C#
Bravest little hobbit of them all
