[Verse 1]
G
I'll tell you a story of a love and his flame
D G
You've read about him, he's Ichabot Crane
[Verse 2]
G
He went a-courtin' one night on his horse
D G
And Sleepy Hollow, they both had to cross
[Verse 3]
G
While ridin' and thinkin', bout the girl he would wed
D G
It was there that old Ichabot, lost his head
[Chorus]
G
Across, Sleepy Hollow, a horseman did follow
C D G
And follow and follow, poor Ichabot Crane
[Verse 4]
G
Don't want to end up, like Ichabot Crane
D G
Who lost his head and went up in the flame
[Verse 5]
G
Sleepy Hollow, I'm gonna evade
D G
That was the mistake, that poor Ichabot made
[Verse 6]
G
I'm a losin' my head and startin' to burn
D G
Ain't any too smart, but I'm willin' to learn
[Verse 7]
G
You can't talk me in, to a staying out late
D G
That was poor Ichabot's, biggest mistake
[Chorus]
G
Across, Sleepy Hollow, a horseman did follow
C D G
And follow and follow, poor Ichabot Crane
[Break]

[Verse 8]
G
In the legend of Sleepy Hollow tis said
D G
The horseman had a pumpkin, for a head
[Verse 9]
G
My head may be sore and I may not be bright
D G
Just one more little kiss and that's all for tonight
[Verse 10]
G
I'm afraid that your kisses will drive me insane
D G
And I'll end up, like Ichabot Crane
[Verse 11]
G
I'm a headin' right home and a jumpin' in bed
D G
That's the best way I know, to hang on to my head
[Outro]
G
Across, Sleepy Hollow, your mem'ry will follow
C D G
And follow and follow, this Ichabot Crane..
