(3/4) [Intro] | D | D | D | G | G | [Verse 1]
     G
I'll tell you a story of a love and his flame

D                                   G
You've read about him, he's Ichabot Crane
[Verse 2]
G
He went a-courtin' one night on his horse

D                                   G
And Sleepy Hollow, they both had to cross
[Verse 3]
G
While ridin' and thinkin', bout the girl he would wed

       D                                G
It was there that old Ichabot, lost his head
[Chorus]
G
Across, Sleepy Hollow, a horseman did follow

    C          D                    G
And follow and follow, poor Ichabot Crane
[Verse 4]
G
Don't want to end up, like Ichabot Crane

    D                                G
Who lost his head and went up in the flame
[Verse 5]
G
Sleepy Hollow, I'm gonna evade

     D                                  G
That was the mistake, that poor Ichabot made
[Verse 6]
G
I'm a losin' my head and startin' to burn

      D                                 G
Ain't any too smart, but I'm willin' to learn
[Verse 7]
G
You can't talk me in, to a staying out late

     D                              G
That was poor Ichabot's, biggest mistake
[Chorus]
G
Across, Sleepy Hollow, a horseman did follow

    C          D                    G
And follow and follow, poor Ichabot Crane
[Break] | D | D7 | D7 | G | G | [Verse 8]
       G
In the legend of Sleepy Hollow tis said

    D                             G
The horseman had a pumpkin, for a head
[Verse 9]
G
My head may be sore and I may not be bright

     D                                         G
Just one more little kiss and that's all for tonight
[Verse 10]
G
I'm afraid that your kisses will drive me insane

    D                         G
And I'll end up, like Ichabot Crane
[Verse 11]
G
I'm a headin' right home and a jumpin' in bed

           D                                 G
That's the best way I know, to hang on to my head
[Outro]
G
Across, Sleepy Hollow, your mem'ry will follow

    C          D                    G
And follow and follow, this Ichabot Crane..
