Chords

[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
