The Headless Horseman Of Sleepy Hollow Chords

(ver. 1)
Bing Crosby
[Verse 1]
          Am             E7      Am    E7
When the spooks have a midnight Jamboree
       Am               Dm      E7
They break it up with fiendish glee
Dm                       AM
Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed
         E7                          Am
Is the Headless Horseman, he's the worst

[Verse 2]
    Am             E7      Am    E7
When he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land
    Am               Dm      E7
Holdin' his noggin in his hand
Dm                       AM
Demons take one look and groan
   E7                          Am
And hit the road for parts unknown

[Chorus 1]                    
            C
And there's no spook, like a spook who's spurned
                                F7     G7
They don't like him, and he's really burned
      Dm                          C
He swears to the longest day he's dead
   Am                       E7     Am
He'll show them that he can get a head

[Verse 3]
    Am         E7      Am    E7
They say he's tired of his flamin' top
Am                 Dm     E7
He's got a yen to make a swap
Dm                       AM
So he rides one night each year
    E7                       Am
To find a head in the hollow here

[Verse 4]
    Am                 E7      Am       E7
Now he likes them little, he likes them big
Am              Dm            E7
Parted in the middle, or with a a wig
Dm                       AM
Black or white or even red
    E7                       Am
The Headless Horseman needs a head

[Chorus 2]
           C
With a hey-hey and a clippity-clop
Am                      Dm     E7
He's out lookin' for a top to chop
Dm                       AM
So don't stop to figure out a plan
   Am                       E7     Am
You can't reason with a headless man

[Verse 5]
  Am            E7      Am       E7
So when you're riding home tonight
Am                      Dm          E7
Make for the bridge with all your might
Dm                       AM
He'll be down in the hollow there
    E7                       Am
He needs your head, look out, beware


[Chorus 2]
           C
With a hey-hey and a clippity-clop
Am                      Dm     E7
He's out lookin' for a top to chop
Dm                       AM
So don't stop to figure out a plan
   Am                       E7     Am
You can't reason with a headless man
