[A] [D] [Bb] Man, that's [A] pure spooky, yeah.
[Ab] [A] Now gather [Bb] round while I elucidate on what [A] happens outside [Ab] when it gets [E] late.
Long about midnight [Abm] the ghosts and [G] banshees get together for their [Eb] nightly jamborees.
[G] There's ghosts with [Abm] horns and sorcerer eyes [G] and some with [Eb] fangs about this size, [A] some
short and fat and [Ab] some tall and thin and [F] some don't even [Eb] bother to [G] wear their [Ab] skin.
Ho ho ho, I'm [G] telling you brother, frightful sight, see what [Dm] goes on in the night.
[A] When the spooks have a [D] midnight jamboree, they [Gm] break it up with [A] fiendish [Gm] glee.
Ghosts are [Dm] bad but the one that's cursed, [A] that's the [G] headless [Dm] horse moon.
He's worse when [C] he goes [B] jogging [Dm] across the [G] land, [Am] holding his [Gm] noggin [A] in his [Gm] hand.
Demons take [Dm] one looking grown [A] and [A] hit the road for parts unknown.
Cause there's [Dm] no spook [Gm] like a [E] spook that's burnt.
[F] They don't [Gm] like him and [Am] he's really burnt.
He swears to [Gm] the longest [D] day he's [Am] dead, he'll show them that he can get ahead.
[Dm]
[Gm] [Dm] [Dm] [C] [Dm]
[Db] [Dm] [D] [Dm] [Eb]
[A] [A] [Bb] This is the [A] Tex-Manaka, this is the one.
[D] So close [C] all the windows, lock [Ab] the door, [Gm] unless you're careful [A] he'll get [Gm] yours.
Don't [Dm] think he'll hesitate a bit, [A] cause he'll clip your top if it [Eb] fits.
[Am] Likes him [B] little, likes him [Am] big, [D] part in the middle or a [A] Westmore [Gm] wig.
Black or [Dm] white or even [A] red, the headless [Dm] horseman needs a head.
With a hip [Fm] hip and a flippity [Gm] clop, he's out looking for a tattoo [Am] chop.
So don't stop to figure [Gm] out [G] a plan, [Dm] you can't reason [Gm] with a [Gb] [F] headless man.
[Cm]
[N] [A] So after dark now you kids be good, [Em] better stay [Am] at home the way you should.
[Dm] Cause right outside and waiting there is the headless horseman.
[Eb] [F] Beware!
[Dm] Man I'm getting out of here.
