Intro 1
(C major) (F major) (C major) (E flat minor) (A flat major) (D flat major) (C major)
(F minor) (F major) (D flat major)
Now (C major) gather
Verse 1
(F major)
round while I elucidate
on what happens outside when it gets late.
(F minor) Along (F major) about midnight
the ghosts and banshees
get together for their (C major) nightly
jam (F major) borees.
There's (D flat major) ghosts (B flat minor) with horns (F major)
and (B flat minor) sorcerer eyes,
and some with fangs about this size,
Some short (F major) and fat, (B flat minor) some tall and thin,
and some don't even bother
to wear their skin. (F major)
(D flat major) I'm telling (F major) you, (C major) brother,
it's (F major) a frightful sight
to see what goes on in (C major) the night. (F major)
For when the spokes have
a midnight jamboree,
they break it up with fiendish (B flat minor) glee.
Ghosts are bad, but the (F major) one that's cursed
is the (C major) headless horseman, he's the worst.
(F major) When he goes a -joggin'
cross the land
Hold (C major) in' (D flat major) his (C major) noggin'
(D flat major) in his (B flat minor) hand
Demons take one (D flat major) look an (F major) d groan
(C major) And hit the road for parts unknown
There's (E flat major) (A flat major) no ramp like (F minor) a
(D flat major) spook that's spurned
They don't like him and
he's really burned
Swears (A flat major) to the longest
day (D flat major) he's dead
He'll (A flat major) show them that he
can get ahead (C major) (F major)
Oh, close all the windows,
lock the doors,
Unless you're careful,
(B flat minor) he'll get yours.
Don't think he'll hesitate (F major) a bit,
Cause (C major) he'll flip your top if it'll fit. (F major)
And he likes them little, he likes them big,
Part in the middle, or (B flat minor) a wig.
Black or white, or even (F major) red, (C major)
The headless horseman needs a head.
(A flat major) With (E flat major) a hip (A flat major) -hip an
(F minor) d a clippity (D flat major) -clop
He's out (F minor) lookin' for
a (B flat minor) head to chop
(D flat major) So (A flat major) don't stop to figure
out (D flat major) a plan (A flat major)
You can't (C major) reason with (F major) a head
(C major) less (C major) (C major) man
(F major) (F minor) you
