Version 1 Version 2[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] C 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 a wig Dm AM Black or white or even red E7 Am The Headless Horseman needs a head [Chorus 2] C 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] C 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
