_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ Hello, I'm John [N] McCash.
Hi I'm _ _ Willie Nelson.
[C#] _ What do you want to do today?
[A] [Bm] An old _ _ _ _ _ _ _
cowpoke went riding out [D] one dark and windy day.
_ [Bm] _ Up on a ridge he rested as he went along his way. _ _
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw, _
[G] plowing through the cloudy sky, _ [Em] and up a cloudy [Bm] drop. _ _ _
_ Their brands were still on fire [D] and their hooves were made of steel.
Their [Bm] horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel. _ _
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the [G] skies.
He saw the riders coming hard and [Em] he heard their [Bm] mournful cry. _ _
_ Yippee-aye [D]-yay, _ _ yippee [Bm]-aye-oh, _
_ _ _ [G] ghost [Em] riders in [Bm] the sky. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] As the riders passed on by him he [D] heard one call his name.
_ [Bm] If you want to save your soul from hell or riding on our reins,
and cowboy change your ways, today are with us you will ride.
[G] Trying to catch the devil's herd _ [E] across these endless [Bm] skies. _ _
_ [G] Yippee [D]-aye-yay, _ _ yippee [Bm]-aye-oh, _
_ _ _ [G] ghost [Em] riders in [Bm] the skies.
Thank you buddy.
_ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
Their faces gone, their eyes [D] were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat.
_ _ [Bm] He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught them yet. _ _
Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the [G] sky.
All the horses snorting fire _ [Em] as they ride on [Bm] hear their cries.
_ Yippee [D]-aye-yay, _ _ yippee [Bm]-aye-oh, _
_ _ _ [G] ghost [Em] riders in _ [Bm] the sky. _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _
[Em] Ghost riders in [Bm] the sky. _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Hey there. _ _ _ _
Hey that's one.
[D#] That's one, [Em] yeah. _
We did that on, we've done it on the Highwaymen show.
We were working with Willie and Waylon.
_ It's been a while since we did a Highwaymen tour.
We're about due I think.
Hard to find all four of us.
[N]
We never could find Waylon.
_ I love working with those criminals, I mean those guys.
I enjoy it.
You wrote a song that I did on a reggae album that I did.
And you've got a house over in Jamaica, don't you?
And you know a lot of those folks over there.
Yeah.
So I did this song called Worried Man and did it on the reggae album.
It really sounds good with those guys playing it.
Good, I haven't heard it, I'm anxious to hear it.
Let me tell you how I wrote it, how I come to write it.
You were there and you probably went through a little town called Falmouth on the North Shore [Cm] between [F#] Montego Bay and Ocho Rios.
[N] And I was walking along the streets of Falmouth one day and this bum came up.
And he said, you recognize me?
He said, Mr.
Cash, I'm a worried man.
I'm a very worried man.
I thought, man, here's a new approach.
I've never had this one before.
_ I said, okay, what are you worried about?
He said, I've got a wife and a nine-pickney and no job.
And that makes me a worried man.
_ So after I [F#] left him on the way back to [Em] our home, I [N] wrote this.
