                        The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins

(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...
