[Fm] [Bb] [Bbm]
[Bb] An old cowboy went riding out [Db] one dark and windy day
Up [Bb] on a ridge he rested [Bbm] as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
[Gb] Plowing through the ragged skies and up the [Bbm] cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire and [Db] their hooves were made of steel
[Bbm] Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
[Gb] For he saw the riders coming hard and [Eb] he heard their [Bbm] mourns and cries
[Db] Yippee-aye-oh, [Bbm] yippee-aye -oh
[Gb]
Ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky
Their
[Ab] [Db]
[Bb] [Db] [Eb] [Bbm]
[Gb]
[Bbm]
faces gulped, their eyes were blurred, [Db] their shirts all soaked with sweat
[Bbm] He's riding hard to catch that [Bb] herd but he ain't [Bbm] caught them yet
Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
[Gb] All the horses snorting fire as [Eb] they ride on hear their [Bbm] cry
As the rider floated on by him [Db] he heard one call his name
If [Fm] [Bbm] you want to save your soul from hell riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways, if they are with us you will ride
[Gb] Trying to catch the devil's herd [Bbm] across these endless skies
[Db] Yippee-aye-oh, yippee [Bbm]-aye -oh
[Gb]
Ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky
[Gb]
Ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky
[Gb] Ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky
