The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins

Leonard Nimoy

(G)(A)(B)
  C2 Db2  C2 B2 (x2)
                C2                                      F
      In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire
                  G                                            C2
      Lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire
                    C2                           Ab
      With his long wooden pipe - fuzzy, woolly toes
           G                                       C2
      He lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him

                      F                   Eb2
                      Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
                               Ab   Bb2          C2
                      He's only three feet tall
                      F                   Eb2
                      Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
                          G                                             (C2)
                      The bravest little hobbit of them all
                                                                                  C2 Db2  C2 B2
                                                                                      C2 Db2  C2

      Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folks you know
      They don't like to hurry and they take things slow
      They don't like to travel away from home
      They just want to eat and be left alone

            C#2                         F#
      But one day Bilbo was asked to go
              G#                             C#2
      On a big adventure to the caves below
          C#2                           A
      To help some dwarves get back their gold
                     G#                                     C#2
      That was stolen by a dragon in the days of old

                      F#                 E
                      Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
                               A2   B2           C#2
                      He's only three feet tall
                      F#                 E
                      Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
                            G#                                          C#2 G# C#2
                      The bravest little hobbit of them all

                                                    C#2
                                      Well, he fought with the goblins
                                           D2
                                      He battled a troll
                                           D#2
                                      He riddled with Gollum
                                                    E2
                                      A magic ring he stole

                                                   F2                          F#2
                                      He was chased by wolves - lost in the forest
                                          G2                                      G#2
                                      Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls

                      Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
                      The bravest little hobbit of them all

      Now he's back in his hole in the land of the Shire
      That brave little hobbit whom we all admire
      Just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold
      A-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole

                      Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
                      He's only three feet tall
                      Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
                      The bravest little hobbit of them all

                      Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
                      He's only three feet tall
                      Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
                      The bravest little hobbit of them all...
