Intro: C  CC  B  C  CC

Verso 1:
       C                           F
In the middle of the earth, in the land of The Shire;
        G7                           C
Lives a brave little Hobbit, whom we all admire.
         C                 A♭
With his long wooden pipe, fuzzy, woolly toes,
   G7                      C 
He lives in a Hobbit-hole and everybody knows him;

Refrão 1:
F               EABC
Bilbo! (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins; he's only three feet tall.
F                EG7                            C
Bilbo! (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins; the bravest little Hobbit of them all.

Interlude: C  C♯   C  B  C  C♯   C

Verso 2:
     C                        F
Now, Hobbits are peace-lovin' folks, you know,
     G7                                 C
They don't like to hurry, and they take things slow.
                          A♭
They don't like to travel away from home;
          G7                  C
They just want to eat, and be left alone.

Verso 3:
    CF♯
But one day, Bilbo was asked to go,
     A♭7                  C♯ 
On a big adventure to the caves below.
                         A
To help some Dwarves get back their gold,
         A♭7                       C♯ 
That was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Refrão 2:
FE                   A    B          C♯ 
Bilbo! (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins; he's only three feet tall.
FE                  A♭7                           C♯ 
Bilbo! (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins; the bravest little Hobbit of them all.

Break:
         CD
Well, he fought with the Goblins, he battled a troll,
   EE
He riddled with Gollum; a magic ring he stole.
       F                F♯
He was chased by wolves, lost in the forest,
  G                           A♭
Escaped in a barrel, from the Elf-King's Halls.

Refrão 3:
FE                  A♭7                           C♯ 
Bilbo! (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins; the bravest little Hobbit of them all.

Solo: CFA♭7  CCA  A♭7  C♯ 

Verso 4:
        CF♯
Now he's back in his hole, in the land of The Shire;
     A♭7                          C♯ 
That brave little Hobbit, whom we all admire.
                                A
Just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold;
  A♭7                         CA|-puffin' on his pipe, in his Hobbit Hole.

Refrão 4:
FE                   A    B          C♯ 
Bilbo! (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins; he's only three feet tall.
FE                  A♭7                           C♯ 
Bilbo! (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins; the bravest little Hobbit of them all.
