  • Verse 1
    Man, 

    that's 
    pure spooky, 
    yeah 

    Now, 
    gather 
    'round 
    while I 

    elucidate 

    On what happens 
    out
    side 

    when 
    it gets 
    late 

    'Long 
    about 
    mid
    night, 

    the 
    ghosts 
    and banshees 

    Get 
    together 
    for 
    their nightly 

    jamborees 

    There's 
    ghosts 
    with 
    horns 

    and saucer 
    eyes 

    And 
    some 
    with 
    fangs 
    about 
    this size 

    Some 
    short 
    and fat, 
    some 
    tall 
    and thin 

    And 
    there's 
    some 
    don't 

    even bother 
    to 
    wear 
    their skin 

    Oh, 
    I'm 
    tellin' 
    you, 

    brother, 
    frightful 
    sight 

    See 
    what 
    goes 
    on in 
    the night 

    Verse 2

    When the 
    spooks 
    have 

    midnight 
    jamboree 

    They break 
    it up 
    with 
    fiendish 
    glee 

    Ghosts 
    are bad, 
    but 
    the 
    one 
    that's cursed 

    That's 
    the Headless 
    Horseman, 

    he's 
    the wor
    st 

    When 
    he goes 
    a- joggin' 

    'cross 
    the 
    land 

    Holdin' 
    noggin 
    in his 
    hand 

    Demons 
    take 
    one 
    look 
    and groan 

    And 
    hit the 
    road 
    for 
    parts 
    unknown 

    'Cause 
    there's 
    no 
    spook 

    like 
    a spook 
    that's spurned 

    They don't 
    like 
    him, and 

    he's 
    really burned 

    He swears 
    to 
    the longest 

    day 
    he's 
    dead 

    He'll show 
    them 
    that he can 
    get 
    a head 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    Mm, 
    this is 
    the 
    Tex 
    Beneke isn't it? 

    So close 
    all 
    the 
    windows, 
    lock 
    the doors 

    Unless 
    you're careful, 

    he'll 
    get 
    yours 

    Don't think 
    he'll hesitate 
    a bit 

    'Cause 
    he'll clip 
    your 
    top 
    if 
    it'll fit 

    He likes 
    'em 
    little, 
    likes 
    'em big 

    Part 
    in 
    the middle, 
    or 
    Westmore 
    wig 

    Black 
    or white 
    or 
    even 
    red 

    The 
    Headless 
    Horseman 
    needs 
    a head 

    Verse 4
    With 
    hip- 
    hip 
    and 
    a clippity- clop 

    He's 
    out 
    lookin' 
    for 
    a top 
    to 
    chop 

    So 
    don't 
    stop 
    to figure 
    out 
    a plan 

    You can't 
    reason 
    with 
    head

    less 
    man 


    Verse 5
    So 
    after 
    dark now, 

    you kids 
    be good 

    Better stay 
    at home, 

    the 
    way that you should 

    'Cause right out
    side, 
    and waitin' there 

    Is the Headless 
    Horse
    man 

    Be
    ware 

    Man, I'm gettin' 
    Verse 6
    out of here

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
