The Headless Horseman - Thurl Ravenscroft chords
Start Jamming...
[C] [A] [Fm]
[Db] [C] [Ab] Now [C] gather around while I [Fm] elucidate on what happens outside when it gets late.
Along about midnight the ghosts and banshees get together for their [C] nightly jamborees.
There's [F] ghosts with horns and saucer eyes, and [Bbm] some with fangs about this size, some
short and fat, some tall and thin, [Bb] and some don't even bother [Db] to wear their skin.
I'm telling [C] you brother, it's a frightful sight to see what [Cm] goes on in the night.
[F]
Oh, and spooks have a midnight jamboree, they break [Bbm] it up with English flee.
Ghosts are [Fm] bad, but the one that's cursed is the headless horseman, he's the worst.
When he goes a-jogging across the land, holding his [Bbm] noggin in his hand, demons take [Fm] one look
and groan, [C] and hit the road for parts [Eb] unknown.
[Fm] There's no rank like spook that's spurned, they don't like him and he's really burned.
Swears through the longest day he's dead, he'll show [Ab] them that he can get ahead.
[F]
[Fm] Ghosts all the windows, lock the doors, unless you're careful [Bbm] he'll get yours.
Don't think [Fm] he'll hesitate a bit, cause he'll flip your pocket [C] a little bit, and he likes
them little like some big, part in the [Bbm] middle or a wig, black [Bb] or white [D] or even red.
The headless [Ab] horseman needs a head with [Fm] a hip, hip and flippity-clop.
He's out looking for a head [Ab] to chop, so don't stop, [Db] figure [Bm] out a plan.
[Fm] You can't reason [Gb] with a head.
[C] [D] [Fm]
