[Verse 1]

Am E7 Am E7

When the spooks have a midnight Jamboree

Am Dm E7

They break it up with fiendish glee

Dm AM

Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed

E7 Am

Is the Headless Horseman, he's the worst

[Verse 2]

Am E7 Am E7

When he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land

Am Dm E7

Holdin' his noggin in his hand

Dm AM

Demons take one look and groan

E7 Am

And hit the road for parts unknown

[Chorus 1]

And there's no spook, like a spook who's spurned

F7 G7

They don't like him, and he's really burned

Dm C

He swears to the longest day he's dead

Am E7 Am

He'll show them that he can get a head

[Verse 3]

Am E7 Am E7

They say he's tired of his flamin' top

Am Dm E7

He's got a yen to make a swap

Dm AM

So he rides one night each year

E7 Am

To find a head in the hollow here

[Verse 4]

Am E7 Am E7

Now he likes them little, he likes them big

Am Dm E7

Parted in the middle, or with a wig

Dm AM

Black or white or even red

E7 Am

The Headless Horseman needs a head

[Chorus 2]

With a hey-hey and a clippity-clop

F7 G7

He's out lookin' for a top to chop

Dm C

So don't stop to figure out a plan

Am E7 Am

You can't reason with a headless man

[Verse 5]

Am E7 Am E7

So when you're riding home tonight

Am Dm E7

Make for the bridge with all your might

Dm AM

He'll be down in the hollow there

E7 Am

He needs your head, look out, beware

[Chorus 2]

With a hey-hey and a clippity-clop

F7 G7

He's out lookin' for a top to chop

Dm C

So don't stop to figure out a plan

Am E7 Am

You can't reason with a headless man
