*Evil Laughter*

[Verse 1]

Fm
Now gather round while I elucidate

On what happens outside, when it gets late

Along about midnight, the ghosts and banshees

Get together for their nightly jamborees
       Bbm
There's ghosts with horns and saucer-eyes

And some with fangs about this size

Some short and fat, some tall and thin

And some don't even bother to wear their skin
         Fm
When I'm telling you brother, it's a frightful sight;

To see what goes on, in the night

Fm

Fm
When the ghosts have a midnight jamboree
                        Bbm
They break it up with a fiendish glee
                       F          Ab
Spooks are bad but thе one that's cursed
       C                 Fm
Is the Hеadless Horseman, he's the worst

Fm
When he goes a joggin' across the land
                     Bbm
A holdin' his noggin in his hand
                    Ab
The demons take one look and groan
    C
And hit the road for parts unknown

[Chorus]

Ab              Eb
There's no wraith like a spook that's spurned
                            Bb          Eb
They don't like him and he's really burned
Ab
Swear through the longest day he's dead

Yeah he'll show them that he can, get ahead

[Post-Chorus]

    Fm
The Headless Horseman needs a head
    Fm
The Headless Horseman needs a head

[Verse 2]
Fm
Well close all the windows, lock the doors
                      Bbm
Unless you're careful he'll get yours
                          Ab
But don't think he'll hesitate a bit
             C               Fm
'Cause he'll tip your top if it'll fit
Fm
And he likes them little, likes them big
                    Bbm
Part in the middle, or a wig;
                   Ab
Black or white, or even red
    C PM              N.C.
The Headless Horseman needs a head

Fm
The Headless Horseman needs a head
Fm
The Headless Horseman needs a head


It's after midnight so, listen good
                    Bbm
Better stay at home, like you should
                     Fm
'Cause right outside and waiting there
       C                    Am
Is the Headless horseman. Beware



With a hip-hip and a clippety clop
                      Eb
He's out looking for a head to chop
   Ab                             Fm*
So don't stop to figure out a plan
N.C.
You cannot reason with a headless man
