[Am] That old cow both went [C] riding out one dark and windy day.
[Am] Upon her age she rested [C] as he went along his way.
[Am] When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
[F] a-blowin' through the ragged skies, [Dm]
and up a [Am] cloudy draw.
[G]
Yippee-aye [C]-ay,
[A] yippee-aye [Em]-oh,
[A]
[F] the ghost [D] herd in [A] the sky.
Their brains were still on fire and [C] their hooves were made of steel.
[Am] Their horns were black and shiny [C] and their hot breath he could feel.
[A] Hopeful [Am] Duffy went through him as they thundered through the sky,
[F] for he saw the riders coming hard, [Dm] and he heard them [Am] mournful cry.
[C] Yippee-aye -ay, [Am] yippee-aye -oh,
[F] ghost [Dm] riders in [Am] the sky.
[Bbm]
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, [Db] and shirts all soaked with sweat.
[Bbm] They're riding hard to catch that bird, but [Db] they ain't caught him yet,
[Bbm] cause they got to ride forever in that range up in the sky.
[Gb] On horses snortin' fire [Ebm]
as they ride on [Bbm] hear their [Bb] [Fm] cries.
Yippee [Db]-aye -ay, [Bbm] yippee-aye-oh,
[Gb] [Ebm] ghost riders in [Bbm] the sky.
[Db] [Bbm]
[Gb] [Ebm]
[Bbm]
[Bm] As the riders [C] loafed on by him, [D] he heard one call his [N] name.
[Bm] If you want to save [Am] your soul [D] from hell or ridin' on a range,
then cowboy change your ways [A] today or with us you will ride.
[G] A-tryin' to catch the devil's bird [Em] across [Bm] these endless skies.
[D]
Yippee-aye-ay, yippee-aye
[Bm]-oh,
[G] ghost riders [Em] in [D] the sky.
