Verse 1
E 
Am 
E 
Man,
that's pure spooky, yeah
Now, gather 'round while I
elucidate
Am 
On what happens outside
E 
when it gets late
Dm 
'Long about mid night,
E 
the ghosts and banshees
Get together for their nightly
jamborees
Dm 
There's ghosts with horns
E 
and saucer eyes
Dm 
E 
And some with fangs about this size
Some short and fat, some tall and thin
And there's some don't
Dm 
even bother to wear their skin
E 
Am 
Oh, I'm tellin' you,
E 
brother, frightful sight
Am 
See what goes on in the night

Verse 2
Am 
When the spooks have a
E 
Am 
midnight jamboree
E 
They break it up with fiendish glee
Dm 
Am 
Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed
E 
That's the Headless Horseman,
Am 
he's the worst
E 
Am 
When he goes a- joggin'
'cross the land
E 
Holdin' a noggin in his hand
Dm 
Am 
Demons take one look and groan
E 
And hit the road for parts unknown
Am 
G 
Am 
C 
'Cause there's no  spook
Am 
Dm 
like a spook that's spurned
C 
Am 
They don't like him, and
he's really burned
G 
Am 
He swears to the longest
day he's dead
G 
He'll show them that he can get a head

Verse 3
Bb 
Am 
E 
Mm, this is the Tex Beneke isn't it?
Am 
E 
So close all the windows, lock the doors
Am 
Unless you're careful,
E 
he'll get yours
Dm 
Am 
Don't think he'll hesitate a bit
E 
Am 
'Cause he'll clip your top if it'll fit
He likes 'em little, likes 'em big
E 
Part in the middle, or a Westmore wig
Dm 
Am 
Black or white or even red
E 
The Headless Horseman needs a head

Dm 
With a hip- hip and a clippity- clop
Am
